Pay Day

Today is supposed to be pay day. But as usual I am the one who ‘get stoned’ by those who do not know what is going on because the payroll is not ready for the bosses to sign. Company policy and stated in our letter of appointment is that timesheet and OT claim (if applicable) have to be submitted by end or beginning of the month in order for me to process the salary.

By lunchtime today, there were still two outstanding timesheets. After lunch, I reminded these two persons. Only then they panicked and started to fill in the timesheet. I cannot even remember what I did last week, how are they supposed to remember what they did for the whole month?

Sometimes I just cannot understand them. What I mean is one of them has been working in the company for more than ten years. She should know what the company policy is in this matter but yet each time she needs to be kicked in the rear in order for the timesheet to be filled. If she does not get fed up by my constant reminder, I myself get fed up in reminding her. Afterall we are all adults, but they make it as if they are playing with sand.

Moreover if I process the salary without any attached timesheet, I would be the one who would be queried by the boss and not the they who did not submit to me their timesheet. *sigh*

Oh Lord, I need more of your grace and patience in dealing with this kind of people.

As a result of not getting the payroll done today, two colleagues will only get their salary next Monday. One will be on leave the next two days while the other one only works Monday to Wednesday.
