The continuing saga of upaid adjuct profressors, teaching assistants and OPS employees escalated today. The FAMUAN student newspaper has the story....The University's failure to disburse spring semester paychecks has ignited feelings of aggravation and whispers of strike among many FAMU employees.
Despite their work and legally binding contracts with FAMU, a host of adjunct professors, teaching assistants and OPS employees, including student media, have yet to receive one paycheck this semester.
Chanta Haywood, dean of graduate studies, said FAMU is no stranger to situations involving paycheck mishaps.
"This has happened before, but I don't know if it's been this widespread," she said.
The lack of paychecks has catapulted many employees' finances into a calamitous whirlwind.

Oh so FAMU want's to blame the victim? The poor unpaid workers? This is some sullbhit!
ReplyDeleteI bet Cast-hell, Awful Austin and Liz "Gut-bucket mouth" McBride aren't having problems getting their pay.
ReplyDeleteYep! Time to GO!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me so very angry that castell gets her big, phat check, debra gets hers and pouty mouth lizzie gets hers. do you think any of these people care about who doesn't get paid? And now, you say that these people haven't been paid ALL semester? Jesus Christ! This makes absolutely no sense to me at all. It pisses me off to no end.
ReplyDeleteYOU AIN'T DAT PISSED
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to call down to the bottom and tell all of Castell's supporters that folks ain't getting paid, SACS is about to bottom out, Pharmacy and Law are on probation, enrollment is down, etc., and I betcha they blame it on Ammons and Humphries.
ReplyDeleteThere is no end to this madness until these folks are gone.
For any adjuncts, TA's, and graduate assistants that wish to join and protest this injustice legally, please e-mail me at boogiecowboy21@yahoo.com. We have contacted various attorneys and media agents to uncover and challenege the atrocities that are being concealed on FAMU campus by the Castell administration.
ReplyDeleteNot discounting your effort, but could you secure a more professional email address?

ReplyDeleteThat's really a cosmetic argument that I won't engage in with you.
4:40, if you ain' adding nothing to the spot, you need to STF UP. Who are you to say who's P'ssed or not. You must be one of Cassie's flunkies. Or maybe you're just friggin' stoopid. Yeah, that's it. Obviously you GOT paid, wherever the F you work. So what do you know about any mf thing, biddie boo?
ReplyDeleteI guess the adjuncts, TA's, and graduate assistants not getting paid, SACS about to bottom out, Pharmacy and Law are on probation, enrollment is down, etc., etc. is all Dr. Humphries fault.
ReplyDeleteIt's been time to go, not it's past time.
Stop working if you haven't been paid. That's the only way you can get your money.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 7:58 You are worried about the wrong thing. Guest you got your check.
ReplyDeleteBoogiecowboy21 do your thing!
Can't we use some of the extra 8 million Castell said we had last year to pay the TAs and adjuncts?
ReplyDeleteOh, then too, she has probably spent that on all of those consultant friends of hers.
She lied about the 8 million surplus. But then again, maybe we can use the bonus she was given for her ficticious 8 million to pay the adjuncts and OPS employees.
ReplyDeleteHere are your rights:
ReplyDeleteEmployers may pay employees more frequently than mandated by state payday law provisions or regulations, but not less, except when a state allows exceptions*.
Payday requirements vary by state. But most states require employers to pay employees within one of the traditional payday periods listed as follows weekly, every two weeks (biweekly), once monthly**, or twice monthly (semimonthly).
Should your employer fail to pay you regularly according to state minimum payday requirements or per the employer's own policy or habit, the wage and hour (or equivalent) division of the relevant state labor department might help you to correct the problem. Otherwise, consider consulting an attorney.
In reference to FAMU:
The state no longer cuts the pay checks for FAMU employees; therefore this matter no longer falls under state jurisdiction and therefore becomes a matter that falls under federal jurisdiction. I would advise anyone that is being affected by the situation to contact 866.487.9243 and ask to be transferred to the Jacksonville, FL Area Office of the U.S. Department of Labor and file a complaint.
*As far as I know, no exceptions have been made here.
**According to Florida State Labor Laws, employers within the state of Florida must pay employees at least once a month.
