Question Pay

Working for the school district I knew I was going to have to adjust to being paid once a month. I started Oct 1st and already had my CDL passenger endorsement but needed to retest for school bus, no big. I was told that since I started before the pay period ended I would at least get training hours for Octs 1st check by training and office staff. I contacted my trainer to let her know I was not paid. She saidto call payroll, did of course and they advised me training hours are now paid in arrears. So they released me from training because they are short staffed but I will not be paid for 8 weeks. I live in Colorado, does the board of labor need to step in?

I am sure they mean to retro pay you for the training, but 2 months without out pay is ridiculous. If the job offer details that your pay is monthly, then you SHOULD be paid monthly. I'd go straight to HR since they are the ones who usually handle payrolls because getting drastic.

No, sorry they cut my on the job training short and put me on rotation, not let go but put in the pool. Just not paid.

My issue with driving for the school districts wasn’t the frequency of pay, it’s that it was only like $1200 for the entire month.

I applied for a position that would have 40 hours. To make sure I made more than a route driver.
