Hello to any former partners/potentially former partners,
I texted my SM asking to be separated on 1/27. When I called corporate that Friday (1/29) to get my pay stub emailed to me (they lock you out of all systems immediately), I asked corporate what my separation date was and they said 1/24. Which shorts me out of 2-3 days pay. I texted my manager she said she would fix it, I called corporate a week later, it was changed to 1/25, I texted my manager and she said some vague bs about pay weeks ending on the 24th and that was why my separation date was incorrect.
I called corporate back, they gave me my dm's email, so I emailed her and she said the same vague statement about pay weeks and that I must be confused. Okay, maybe so. Then I had to call corporate back again today because I needed today's pay stub (I have to figure out if the money I had set aside for the SIP program and other benefits were being refunded to me) and I asked corporate about my separation date. STILL 1/24.
I asked corporate if this has to do with pay weeks and ending a pay cycle? They said, "No, your separation date is the day you were separated".
So, has anybody else had this experience? I am hella frustrated and think my SM is screwing me out of a few day's pay. And the reason I think she is doing this is because I was out on COVID leave until 1/28 and she had told me I needed to be covering shifts or come into work on the 28th and I said, I was mentally and physically unable to do admin tasks like texting 17 partners and confirming shift coverage. I WAS SICK, IT IS CALLED COVID-19, WE ARE IN A PANDEMIC. And she kept hassling me so I said, "fine, please just separate me" on 1/27. And she is being a bitch by not giving me my full covid pay which is unethical and just totally illuminates what a shit company I was working for.

Anyone have similar stories?? Also, double check your separation date!
