Weekly Pay Day. All Employees shall be paid in full each week, not more than five (5) days’ pay may be held back but then only if the Employer presently adheres to such a program. Upon discharge, the Employer shall pay earned wages due to the Employee on the first regular payday following the date of discharge. Vacation pay for which the discharged Employee is qualified shall be paid no later than five (5) working days following final determination of the discharge. The Employer will issue separate checks for grievance and back pay settlements. Paychecks shall be itemized in the following manner: Federal tax, social security tax, state tax, city tax, 401-K Plan, advances, Union dues, initiation fees, and total hours worked. (Total hours will be split into straight time hours and overtime hours.) Payroll checks shall include cumulative totals of all income and deductions. Payroll checks will be in envelopes. Shortages involving more than forty dollars ($40.00) for full-time employees and twenty dollars ($20.00) for part-time employees, will be corrected and the payment will be made available to the employee at his/her reporting location on his/her second scheduled workday after reporting the shortage. If the Employer fails to make the payment available on the employee’s second scheduled workday and the shortage was the result of the Employer’s error, the employee will be paid an additional amount equal to one-half of his/her daily guarantee at his/her regular hourly rate for every full pay period in which the shortage is not paid after the second (2nd) scheduled work day, until corrected. Errors of less than forty dollars ($40.00) for full time employees or twenty dollars ($20.00) for part-time employees and overages will be corrected in the following weekly paycheck. All green checks will be taxed at the employee's regular withholding tax rate. Any grievance settlement not paid within ten (10) working days of the settlement shall entitle the grievant(s) to a penalty payment equal to one-half their daily guarantee at their regular rate of pay. The ten (10) working day period shall begin to run when the Labor Department representative agrees to the settlement, or is notified by the Union or the management team of the settlement. The Employer shall pay a maximum of one penalty payment for a multi-grievant grievance.
