    The last company that wouldn't tell me what was going on with my hubby's checks lost a driver real fast! He would have lost a wife if it hadn't turned out that way. I AM PART OF THIS TEAM AND I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!

    If you gotta ask ---
    you don't need to know, T-Nana. :biggrin_25512:
    Consider yourself fortunate that you have to ask --- obviously, you've
    never experienced being "unsorry".

    It's indescribable.
    Mere words cannot even begin to describe the miserable horror associated with what's known as unsorry. The word unsorry doesn't do the condition justice, or accurately describe what's in store for those afflicted with the dreaded, unsorry. :sad4::smt087:sad1: :pale:

    Suffice to say, .......... it ain't purdy.
    Especially if it's a case of unsorryest, or it's equally
    contiguous and equally matched counterpart, unsorryier.
    Not many come out a winner when it gets to either the,
    Unsorryest
    or
    Unsorryier
    stage. :biggrin_25513:

    By then, it's probably advanced to the, often fateful, stage of the Chicken & the Egg syndrome.
    No known answer for the cure ---- at this time.
    Just imagine if, SOMEhow, those two managed to get hot enough to fuse together!
    Then, we'd have
    ULTRAUNSorry --- Deluxe Kootie Edition. :biggrin_2551:

    ZoW-WEE!

    Man-0-MaN!
    Combine THOSE two peas in a double-bunk pod, and it'd likely get volatile ---
    maybe even explosive. :blob6:

    But I hear there's hope in a recently developed antidote now being released after exhaustive random tests have been deemed unconclusive, and unactive, ....... thereby, unreportable and inpreventable.
    Tell me THAT ain't good news!

    Easily and conveniently taken orally with liquid--- it completely seals the entire entry area soon after consumption.
    And causes the mute, usually combatant, ULTRAUNsorry sufferers to constantly and relatively harmlessly, gaze at their own image in any mirror, -------------------
    (Often supplied with the ULTRAUNsorryANTI-DOTE Application Kit),
    With gazing sometimes continuing for hours at a time ---
    Or until the next Change of Duty Status.
    Which provides a more tranquil atmosphere for teams teamin' together.

    On-going tests have been encouraging though, we were told by a researcher who wishes to remain anonymous. This dude cited, ........
    ....... In one clinical test, --- after only two doses of ULTRAUNsorryANTI-DOTE,
    a remarkable decline in bunk curtain slammings was observed in a Big truck truck driver with an advanced case of unsorry, and ULTRAUNsorryANTI-DOTE is believed to hold promise, --- with increased doses, and, of course, cost --- that it will, at least, lessen the extreme, self-inflicted, unnecessary suffering(s) encountered and experienced during stampedeing ULTRAUNSORRY episodes.

    And possibly provide a degree of warning when the first symptoms of unsorry are encountered --- prior to full-blown ULTRAUNsorry infusion --- thereby, lessening the impact on the truckin' industry's team truckers truckin' teams.

    "This would be a major boon to the Big truck truckin' industry's team drivers drivin' team, who are especially prone to developing unsorry if they're not related to, and/or joined at the matromony with, their co-driver.", said Big truck truckin' Big Wig Willie Wiggens, during a recent encounter with a bar that he couldn't pass up.
    But he found a way to pass OUT.
    Rightafter.
    And
    Thereafter, .....................

    ........... ULTRAUNsorryANTI-DOTE develpoper, and chief of UNapplied Applications, University of U-no-U-no -- Alumni-Gratuitous at Large, -- graduated pro-bono, with thissel cluster, oak fig-leaf commeration, and recognized by the Benddovver Foundation for his large openness, ------

    ----- Earnst DeSpreadinit-Thicker, B.S.
    of South East of Here, North Central, Polia, -----
    excitedly added, .............

    ........."I tink ve haf found de thang webeen lookin' afore --- long ti-me naw.

    He trumpeted.

    Now, T-Nana, --- I hope this has given you SOME insight into
    unsorry. And I encourage y'all to wear portection against
    succumbing to the dreaded, self-inflicted misery caused by unsorry.

    If you have to check your hubby's payroll, then may I suggest a new hubby. If there is no trust involved in a relationship, then why even bother having one? I never said that you didnt have the "right to know what is going on" (as you put it), but as far as I'm concerned anyone other than the driver or employee should not have payroll discussed with them by the company regardless of the situation(unless the driver becomes incapacitated or cannot because of his death) . That is a violation of federal law, your payroll and tax records are NOT public knowledge without a court order. My wife sees my checks and sees my stubs if she wants to, since I have kept every stub that I have ever received since I started working at 13 years old, and I have kept every tax paper since I first filed income tax at 14 years old, but I have NEVER worked for a company that would discuss your benefits and pay with a spouse or any other relative, NEVER. It is none of their business, if they(the spouse)dont trust you to reveal how much you make or what your benefits are, well then it's time for me to move on. Obviously my wife and I dont have a trust issue that you and your hubby do. In fact the company that I work for now has a strict policy against dicussing payroll with anyone except the driver and they will not even give your paycheck to anyone except the driver himself--this stems from an incident several years ago, where a driver was not working on payday and his "wife" came and got his paycheck. Well come to find out that this driver had not even been married for almost 10 years, and had not even seen him ex for more than a year. The company had to cancel his check immediately and issue him a new one--hence NOBODY picks up a payroll check except for the individual it is written out to, even with a note or whatever, a person other than the person it is written to is not getting it. period!

    So what is you point? Mrs RC was there with RC and asked some questions for clarification.......like when does the safety bonus kick in or some such thing. That is a lot different than giving your check to someone who walks in off the street.

    My point is--to read the employee handbook, my guess is that it explains all that. What does she really care for--if she has that much of a problem with the company policies, then why does she "let" him work there? Like I said if she doesnt trust him to get the answrs that she thinks that she "needs", then that is a trust issue between them and has nothing to do with the company. That is my point, unless of course you havent read the posts.

    No where did she say that she and her husband have trust issues. Perhaps they have a marriage where he asks her to check on things since he's gone. But that sure doesn't mean they have a problem in their marriage.

    As for the law: I can tell you since I handled payroll for many years that that information isn't discussed with anyone but the employee UNLESS they have given express written information or if they have the other party present at the time of the discussion. As for picking up pay checks, that's company to company and I know when I was asked by a spouse for a check I had to verify I had written instructions from the employee prior to the request. Or unless it was an emergency, such as the employee was in the hospital, deployed etc.
