Cox's Payroll Problems

An insider at Cox Media Group says it was back to the future for a number of employees.

This is the email, the insider sent FTVLive:

For the 2nd year in a row CMG has tried to screw employees out of pay around the holiday times.

Last year they “conveniently” left off holiday pay for hourly employees for the Christmas & New Years holidays. Sent nothing out about it, & made each individual employee contact HR to fix it.

This year they started a new HR hub & payroll system that doesn’t pay overtime properly. Screwing some employees out of over $500, Merry Christmas CMG employees thanks for your hard work but we will try & stiff you again.

It’s sadly becoming a yearly tradition.

Speaking of Cox, another source tells FTVLive that the company is rolling out its new graphics hub. 

Word is the hub will be run out of Atlanta. It sounds as if layoffs went down, but each station was able to retain one graphics person for breaking news.

Any Cox insiders that have some more details on this, please email us.
