CWA District Vice-President Noah Savant filed an Executive-Level grievance and NLRB charges against the Company for failure to address eLink payroll issues. Savant stated in a letter to HR Director Mike Matthews, "Nothing is more fundamental to our contract and the concept of 'mutual respect and responsibility' than ensuring our members and your employees, get paid correctly for their labor and on time."

AT&T eLink Payroll Issues 1/14/08
Employees not being Paid on Paydate
Employees who have NOT been paid on their paydate
should make sure they report it to their supervisor first.
If you are not paid within 2 days you can report the problem
to the Wage & Hour Division of the Department of Labor @ (404) 893-4600.
Managers Misinforming Employees About Paystubs
There are a number of supervisors advising employees that they will no longer
receive their paystubs at home as the contract states.
Per Patti Bailey in HR:
"Paychecks and pay stubs are being sent to the employees' home
addresses for those who are covered by contracts
that state they will be sent to the employees' homes.
We spoke with supervisors last week who confirmed
with the employees that they received their checks at home.
The paychecks are sent from St. Louis, MO via the United States Postal
Service. I believe it is taking a little longer for paychecks and stubs to arrive at their destination since they are mailed from St. Louis instead of Atlanta."
