A Communiqué

...left in my voicemail today, transcribed verbatim:

"Hi Victoria it's me, XXXXX, from Payroll. Uh, it is the change of rate for Smith John is fine, so if he needs to multiply hours times 9.85 that is the rate as he is supposed to get, is fine. But if you want call me back, please 19999. All right? Bye bye."

(Generated by me asking about the fact that John Smith, who had had a pay increase back in March to $9.85/hr, had not seen said increase & back pay reflected in his paychecks.)

It still doesn't answer the question, whatever first language you believe the payroll person to have been schooled in.

Precisely my vexation.

I think she is trying to say that Payroll's systems have him at the correct rate. Except that we already knew that, because she'd told it to me in our first conversation. So, I've got nothin'.
