LETTER: Still Haven’t Gotten My Back Pay

It’s February, and I still haven’t gotten my backpay as a former government worker. At first, it was before the end of December, then it was the end of January. Now, I’m hearing it should be paid by March. This is a very concerning trajectory.

It’s tiring now. It’s like the government has no intention to pay the money owed at this rate. If the government paid me the increases when they were owed, the government would not find itself having to pay this lumpsome. Now, I am left outside, and I am forced to keep my ears to the ground to figure out when I’m going to be paid.

I worked for the same period that is being paid as people who are still government employees and got their monies. It isn’t fair to pay some and not all. We ALL worked and might I add, I worked harder than my former colleagues who have since been paid.

Gaston, you said by the end of January, so please make it rain.
