I have payroll issues with IBM still. They overpaid me when I left, then they got my end date incorrect and wanted more back than they deserve. This has been ongoing for 7 months, they can't seem to figure it out... just check the email logs, if they had any... They sent it to collections some time ago, now trying to get them to negotiate a payoff rather than dealing with IBM Employee "services"
Whoa, doesn’t your state have an agency that handles that stuff? I was terminated once by a company that claimed they went bankrupt, so I filled out one form with the labor commission (had to in order to claim unemployment benefits - I was 22 and had no savings), and they got ALL up in my former employers business and straightened it out quickly with no extra effort in my part.
I have a similar story: as an IBM employee I had a company Amex card. It works like this: you buy something on the card (in your name, against your personal credit), but you also fill out an expense reimbursement form (a horrible Java web-app) and IBM pays the card.
All fine and good, but if you return something or if the vendor gives you a discount later or anything like that, you end up with a negative balance on the card. Now you leave the company, but you have an Amex card with a negative balance.
I received Amex statements for six months before they figured out how to deal with it.
