According to the heads of multiple city unions, Hundreds of Baltimore employees continue to be underpaid or receive no money in their paychecks, several weeks after the city rolled out a new payroll system. Mike Mancuso, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 3, said that as of this week, 800 of his 2,400 members continue to have problems with their checks following the transition to Workday software. Union leadership is seeking legal counsel to consider options for seeking reimbursement from the city for fees incurred by members for short or absent paychecks. Additionally, it has been found that the majority of the employees facing the pay issues are the same workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. Earlier this month, the city health department acknowledged that contact tracers were among the staff who hadn’t been paid or received full checks.
