June 5, 2008: For weeks I've had employees from the Crowne Plaza Hotel e-mail me and call me about their paycheck problem. At first we didn't know the scope of the problem. Today we learned that 77 checks had bounced during the last 4 pay periods. The company said that wasn't a big number, considering they cut 140 checks every two weeks. Employees I spoke with disagreed.

Here's what I kept to release on the web. Peter Mathon, who represents the hotel company, said that owner Charles Suresh Morais wrote everyone an apology. They also gave everyone a $30 bonus for their trouble with the checks, whether the employee was one of the 77 or not.

None of the employees told me about the apology or the $30 bonus.

Does your company have payroll problems? Let me know.
