Here's a little postscript about my short time with the Postal Service.
They are trying to cheat me out of my last paycheck.
I worked for 5 days of in-classroom training from a Monday to a Friday, with about 31 hours on the clock for that.
The week after that, I spent 4 hours on-the-clock being trained to drive one of those little postal trucks.
The day after that I went to the post office I was supposed to work at and did 3 days of field training, for about 25 hours on-the-clock.
My last training day was a Tuesday. I quit when I went in Wednesday morning. Payday was on Friday. I walked in on Friday and got a paycheck for 30.75 hours of work, which was clearly my paycheck for my first week working there, my time in the actual classroom. I was told to come back 2 weeks later for my paycheck for the other time I was with them.
That 2 weeks later was last Friday. I go in, they don't have a paycheck for me. The clerk at the counter asks for my contact information so they can give it to a supervisor. I leave my name and phone number, I don't hear anything.
I go in on Monday morning since I didn't hear back. The manager refuses to come out and talk with me, or have me into her office to speak with me, and just relays via the clerk that I've been paid for all my work and I won't get any more paychecks. It includes a quote that my check should include all work up to the 24th, so it would clearly have all my worked hours on it.
I worked on the 25th for 8 hours, and resigned on the morning of the 26th, so that was a lie.
Now I'm trying to get my paycheck for the last 29 work hours or so from the postal service. I'm going in with a letter to the manager laying all this out, and including a photocopy of my pay stub showing how many hours I was paid for, and thus how many I haven't been paid for.
It's a $400 check, roughly, so I'm pestering them about it, but they seem to have the attitude of "You quit, so tough luck."
