Oops. Fortnightly pay delay for Nine staff.
Poor Nine staff went unpaid over the Easter long weekend after a pay office stuff-up.

Nine management had red faces over the weekend when staff were advised their fortnightly pay would not be processed over the weekend -forcing them to wait until today.
The Australian reports Nine’s group director of finance operations, Danielle Abandowitz, wrote to staff on Good Friday.
“We are writing to you tonight because we have been advised that the pay transfer due to happen on Saturday 30th March has been delayed,” she wrote.
“This is due to public holidays and although the pay details have been finalised and transferred to ANZ, they will not be processed until Tuesday 2nd April.”
“We apologise for the inconvenience caused, we and ANZ should have picked this up and processed on Thursday 28th March. Ongoing, we will have processes in place so that the funds are received prior so that there is no delay due to bank closures and public holidays.”
It almost makes it sound reasonable.
Yeah, nah.

That’s pretty standard when there’s public holidays. Not really a story.
Not really. If a Public Holiday falls on a Pay Day, your pay should go in prior to that. My employee does and others I’ve worked for, even centrelink pays early
Lol. Blaming the bank. Haven’t they had to pay staff over a holiday period ever before?
It’s The Australian Labor Party’s fault.
