Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

payroll dispute

this friday my payroll statement arrive as normal. upon opening it i found that human resources applied a ''did not pay'' code to one entire 40 hour work week during the time of this thanksgiving. my vacation time and sick leave were adequate enough to cover thoose days. my manager said he called HR and they would not do anything to correct this until the following pay period. after telling him my situation with bills already mailed and grocery shopping, my account was due to be overdrawn before the close of buisness that day. he stated that they can not have a live check sent fedex to my home to cover the difference when only three months ago, two other employees had a similar issue and they had checks delivered next day am fedex. since this occured my bank account overdrafted several times and multiple fees were accessed. i still have negative dollars in that account, i have since emptied my savings to cover as much as possible to cover this and allow me to purchase food items. at this time i have only a few dollars left for gas to travel to work before i have nothing left. what can i do?

Re: payroll dispute

As long as you're eventually paid by your employer for this work, I would say not much at all (other than look for other work.)
