“It is critical that Seattle employees are paid accurately and on time.

Since the City implemented its new payroll system more than two years ago, SPOG has repeatedly raised concerns about inaccuracies in our members' pay, including underpayments that remain unresolved. SPOG members, along with other City employees, have also filed a class action lawsuit related to inaccurate pay and underpayment concerns. Now, the City has acknowledged another significant payroll error affecting hundreds of SPOG members.

SPOG members did not create these discrepancies, and they should be able to rely on the City to accurately calculate their wages.

We look forward to working with the City to carefully review these discrepancies, verify the accuracy of every affected member's pay, address outstanding underpayments, and ensure that any resolution is handled fairly and in accordance with our collective bargaining agreement and Washington law. Our members deserve an accurate paycheck and a payroll system they can trust.”
