One of the biggest frustrations for me lately, is getting paid by the district. I get my regular salary just fine, and anything I do that is tracked by our biometric clock is fine. However, reimbursements and pay for non-clock work is a whole other story. Right now, the district owe me about $1500. Almost $500 is for a workshop that they paid for, but sent to the wrong address. They even got reimbursed by the state. My office manager put a stop payment on the check and it was never cashed. We sent in the receipts, and the department responsible gave us the wrong line item for the expense. Finally the school decided to reimbursement with building funds and I still haven’t seen the money.
The next problem is an extra class I taught last year, online. I had kids, one finished the class even and it took months to get a grade recorded on the transcript. However, we put the paperwork in last year, and I still haven’t seen the money. Frustrating because I have projects that are waiting on the money.
If you count the IRS rebate, and the workshop last week, someone in the world claims they are sending me somewhere $3500.00 Man is it frustrating!
