Another payroll fiasco

The owner of the company were work for is one who prefers to handle his payroll himself. This would seem acceptable enough. Except, he has proven over and over again that he is not as competent in that department as one would expect someone doing payroll to be.

In fact, he has become notorious for fucking up payroll in one way or another every time it rolls around. I would even go so far as to say that it is more of a surprise when he actually does everything correctly. It's beyond ridiculous.

Here's a fact: we never know for sure when or how much we will get paid after each pay period. Both factors are a result of his incompetence with respect to doing payroll.

But on top of this, the nor knowing how much also had to do with the complexity of the bonus structure that he and his business partner established. I won't go into much detail about that, except to say this: Our bonus is based on a percentage of the company's income, the total of which is not disclosed to us. So there's no way for us to be certain we receive exactly what we're supposed to.

In the end, we are left with an impossible situation that prevents us from creating or maintaining a budget. In these circumstances we are left financially strained. All of it sucks.

So how was your day?
