Just check my paycheck on lite blue and I was put in for two weeks LWOP! I emailed my Stewart tonight and I have someone in the office who usually corrects my pay for me. However with such a huge careless error I feel I should be compensated extra and file a grievance. Just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them in the past and how did you deal with it? So tired of the post office. supervisors are completely useless.

Get an advance!! That is the best way to know they did the payroll adjustment. As far as a grievance and asking for something extra....there is nothing more to get and you only need the grievance if they fail to give the advance and do the adjustment.
Just curious ... thanks that's what I would do

Closed mouths don't get fed. Will you get extra pay? Prolly not. Do you lose anything by asking for something extra? Absolutely not! You could word the grievance something like "why were my hours not entered in a timely fashion" i would want to know why at the very least. Your job is to deliver mail. Someone's job is time keeping. Only fair people are held accountable for not doing their job. You don't deliver the mail you get questioned. Why shouldn't someone be questioned about the failure to perform the duties of their job?

That last sentence is the $10,000,000,000 question and one I’ve been trying find an answer to ever since I first walked in the door of this pathetic run outfit. There ought to be a direct line to an HR dept to report failures of management especially not getting paid correctly & on time. I can guarandangtee they’re not going to give any extra pay and will act like you should be grateful you’re getting a 65% money order.

They will pedal many different lines of BS to shift the blame away from themselves. I'd still grieve, that is money you could have interest earning in the bank.
Just keep an eye on your S/L and A/L numbers on the next check. That's a half day of S/L that would or should have been earned and make sure they DO NOT deduct any A/L for whatever your A/L status is for a pay period. Actually, keep an eye on the next couple of checks for this.
The claim is there was a glitch in all of the southern states. 
You really can't file any grievance because they are "attempting" to correct it. So I guess they will give us an advance for 65% of our check. Yet we can't grieve anything or demand something in return for postal screw ups but gladly smile and hope we get a 65% check and wait for the rest - if done timely enough will be on the next check or the check after that one AND that the person doing the correction does that correctly to begin with. So what is the point of a union if they won't say something, mistake or not, that not paying us on our pay date is not acceptable. We are just supposed to roll over like they do and ask for more abuse I guess. And way ... life goes ...

If they properly and timely do the advance there is no grievance!
