Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / July 2007CVS not paying its pharmacists; giving them the run-around
I am a pharmacist at CVS and have had problems with getting paid for the past several months. My paychecks are either grossly inaccurate or I just completely don't get them. Other pharmacists at my branch are experiencing the same problem. Our management basically gives us the run around point the finger at payroll (which is based out of the Phillipines), and payroll points the finger at management. This has been an ongoing problem for much too long for it to be a simple "mistake." I was wondering if anyone else out there working for CVS has heard or is themselves experiencing the similar problems. Thanks On 7/5/07 9:49 AM, in article 1183654181.582064.190060@m37g2000prh.googlegroups.com, > I am a pharmacist at CVS and have had problems with getting paid for > the past several months.

In California there is a state agency that takes the kind of shenanigan very seriously. I don't think it is just because they get lowered income tax. Bill -- Support the troops. Impeach Bush.

Oh, I forgot about Cheney. Why put up with this crap. There are many pharmacy jobs out there, all of you should just leave and go work for somebody else. Start looking. For a pharmacist that kind of employer intimidation is just unacceptable. Just for fun, to broaden my resume, etc., etc., I did a little casual moonlighting at CVS in the winter/spring a year ago. Maybe 2-4 days a month. Gave it up when summer came. I never had any problems with paychecks. In fact, somehow I managed to forget to cash one of my paychecks! I was completely unaware of this, until a couple of weeks ago when CVS wrote me a letter offering to re-issue the check! I'd say CVS has (had?) a good payroll system, and I bet your problems are regional, rather than national. Of course, maybe things have changed. > On 7/5/07 9:49 AM, in article > 1183654181.582064.190...@m37g2000prh.googlegroups.com, [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Bill > -- Support the troops.

You can do that as easily as I. I am pretty sure that it is in the State Department of Labor. Bill -- Support the troops. Impeach Bush.

I am retired and never worked for CVS BUT I did manage for a chain... managed the entire store (front and Rx). Yes I screwed up a few times and so did Payroll...but the enployee never walked out to door without his pay even if I had to use the stores Petty Cash... Who cares who is to blame Management is responsible to see that you get paid...and paid correctly... If they are not doing their job This old fart would have chew their a.ses.. It is a PISS POOR manager that does not takle care of ALL his Staff from the lowest clerk on up... . Bob G.

If they don't pay you, just take $500 or whatever out of the till. Of course, leave a signed note that it is to cover your wages. What are they going to do? Fire you? So what, if they're not paying you, what's the difference? Think they'll arrest you for theft? Let them, the local tv stations would love a story like that. (A local person was getting faxes from a medical clinic, with patient info. The person called the clinic several times, saying they did not want to receive the faxes, and the clinic should stop the mistake, but they only got a run around from the clinic. So they went to a tv station. A story on the evening news got some action out of the clinic.) >Bob G. wrote >>...the employee never walked out to [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >Think they'll arrest you for theft? Let them, the local tv stations >would love a story like that. =========== As the Manager... I considered PAYING the employees (or giving them a good portion of their unpaid pay) from petty cash a legitimate use of petty cash... Honestly I did not have to do this very often BUT NEVER had to explain WHY to any "Stupid"visor or Corporate Bean Counter... BTW there is a difference between taking money from a Register (even with a note) and making a disbursment from Petty Cash from the Safe.. Bob G.. I worked for CVS a few years ago as an intern for 2 months at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but didn't get paid until nearly the following summer - after I threatened to quit (which I did - and went to Rite Aid). I am sorry to hear that you are having the same problems that I did as well as apparently many others. Who knows if CVS will ever get the hint. |
