Employees Will Get Half a Paycheck

It appears that employees are the Meredith stations are going to be delayed a bit when it comes to getting paid for the work they do.

As Meredith hands off the company to Gray, it seems that paychecks are going to be delayed a bit.

Employees that still have vacation time left convert that time to money.

“Easier said than done in mid-October when most people's vacay is already used up, holiday flights are already booked-- and when many employees only have 2 weeks of vacay. I Gotta explain to Ma why she may not get a Christmas visit, now. Or just a Christmas card,” said one Meredith staffer.

Remember Meredith is the same company that laid off hundreds of people and cut employees’ pay.

Maybe, as a thank you to the staff, Meredith could give them all a bonus as a way of saying thanks, and not make the employees have to figure out how to live on a half paycheck. It would really help those in covering their bills and expenses.

Meredith is making billions of dollars in the sale, can’t just this one time, they could maybe share a few bucks with the people that stuck through all this crap?

Here’s a portion of the internal memo that was sent to the staff and obtained by FTVLive:
