Rather than the way payroll is traditionally handled, where the hours are put in by the OA at each store and submitted to corporate's servers for processing and direct deposit?
As far as I know, the ONLY time a manager pays someone out of the cash office is when someone quits or is fired. It is only required in some states. In other states, you wait for your last check. Making payroll out of the cash office to all the associates is unheard of. This sounds concerning!
Somebody from a few posts back said that managers were on a call and were told how to handle payroll. It was said that the managers were to take cash from the cash office safe and disburse the amounts due to all the employees on payday. See @VkUA2AF-fzc and @VkUA2AF-vki.
I don't know what to believe. Some of the things I've heard on here have been far out in left field, but turn out being true. Other things are just rumors or even lies, so to me, this could be true or false.
