Whole Foods Market Held my wages which was 15 an hr, when I was finally paid either my PTO was not included or they paid me minimum wage. I can no longer access my work information to determine which. Marietta Georgia
I was terminated from Whole Foods 8 days before Christmas and was told I would not be cut a seperation check nor would I be given a seperation notice. I was given a seperation PACKET which states all wages owed to me would be direct deposited into my account.
It was not so i contacted HR and inquired. I was told that my pay would go out on payroll along with all other employees for 2 more pay periods. I wait 3 weeks for my final check which should have included my PTO and my pay at 15 dollars an hr. It did not.
Valet Statten who is HR told me the reason my pay was being held was to include this on my check. I was either paid at minimum wage which is 7.25 an hr or they did not include my PTO.
Amazon pays all employees at Whole Foods 15 dollars an hr. as of November 1st or so they claimed. Even before this increase in pay I made well over minimum wage. I was a hard working and valuable employee who had car troubles.
To be done this way is appaling. Instead of being able to move on and pursue a career doing something this company showed me I love I am stuck trying to figure out how to right this wrong.
This company no longer has the standards or the respect it once did for its employees. Even well before this incident there were many issues with how the company treats it employees.
