[QUOTE="klmno, post: 386662, member: 3699"] And the reason I am so steamed right this min is because I went to work this morning, talked to boss about it- telling him I thought I should run this by him before getting back to HR person but when I committed to him yesterday about getting a CC within 2 mos, I had not gotten this message from HR person yet and now I need to know which they want me to do first- pay them back so they are witholding my pay or get the CC but no way can I come up with 2000 extra dollars in 2 mos. He first told me it was my problem. That flew all over me but I didn't say anything. Then he said work with HR person first, he's figure something out about travel stuff. OK. So I emailed HR person and responded to her question from yesterday asking me how long bewfore I could get on regular pay schedule like everyone else (pay being witheld). I asked if they could either take 1/2 pay out of the mid-Nov check and the last half out of the mid-Dec check or all of the mid December check, whichever was easier for them. I thought I was being more than reasonable considering they threw this on me yesterday about 3:30pm. Then I go to the project site, come back this afternoon and there's an email from HRR person saying they want to take it out of this check next week (my first check after 3 weeks work) and the mid Nov check. I emailed back and said I cannot do that - if I could afford that I wouldn't have called to discuss this matter prior to taking the job to begin with. Plus I mentioned the other things I put in my previous posts about making commitments based on our agreement then being expected to have pay upfront expenses we were never told about after learning they'd changed their mind about sticking to the agreement. And I'd bet money that my boss was behind every bit of this because it ticked him off so much yet he never once thought thru the fact that if I pay company back, I can't get the stupid CC he wants me to get. Nit wit. I don'[t get the feeling that he's wanting me out of there now- although he might after catching wind of this email I just sent to HR person. There are other things not told the employee until they are hired, too, not that these mattered to me because mine will be clear but still, an employee should be told prior to solidifying a job offer/acceptance and moving for the job, in my humble opinion: drug test, test for communicable diseases, background check- all done AFTER taking the job and starting work then the person is fired if any of it comes back positive. Most company's would tell you those expectations/requirements PRIOR to a job acceptance. But this is more stuff that I have to wonder if the people at the main company know that boss is NOT telling potential employees any of this until after they are hired and start working. [/QUOTE]
