Please be reminded that the Monday morning deadlines for paperwork are non-negotiable because it is impossible to pay you on time if your paperwork does not arrive on time. With over 145 employees on the payroll we do not have the luxury of waiting on your paperwork until Monday afternoon, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. and still be able to get your paychecks ready by 2 pm on pay days.
There are a handful of employees who are habitually late with paperwork week after week and the good excuses that go along with it have been abused over time. While these were all good excuses at one time, many of them have become routine and continue to be abused. Therefore, Angela no longer has the privilege of granting favors for late paperwork. There will be no more paperwork accepted late for any reason, including the following excuses that have been exhausted by overuse:
- oversleeping
- car trouble/flat tires
- fax machines not working
- illness
- ran out of paperwork
- out of town
- email didn't go through
- lack of signatures
- I gave it to someone else and he/she was late
- the drop box was full
- I didn't know what I was supposed to do
- I forgot
- I misplaced it and I can't find it
- My spouse or child misplaced it and I can't find it
- I gave it to the client and he/she lost it
Please be advised that it is NEVER a good idea to let someone else turn in your paperwork for you, including your client(s). It is never a good idea to let someone else fax or email your paperwork--always take responsibility for turning in your own paperwork every week.
Finally, if you receive a notice in your paycheck indicating that your check was reduced or withheld because of errors or because your paperwork was received after the Monday morning deadline, it will not help to call in and argue, beg, or give another excuse. We are required to enforce all rules and penalties without "playing favorites." All late/incorrect paperwork must be treated the same for everyone.
Thank you for your cooperation.
