Hi Glenn, require further information on the following, please:

An employee in May 2019 signed a “3 year pay increment” document as follows:
May 1, 2019 $19 increasing to
May 1, 2020 $21; another increase
May 1, 2021 $23
September 2019 she went on MAT leave
She is expected to return back to work and has requested to get paid at $21.
Is the employee entitled to the increase even though she has not performed?
Also, will she be entitled to the May 1, 2021 $23 increase coming up as well – again in this short period of time?
Thank you,
Mirella Bennati

That is more than generous, Mirella, considering that we kept you waiting for over a week. But I’m glad we were able to help. There was an unusual situation that temporarily limited our access to payroll expertise. But we’ve fixed the problem and will be able to respond much faster next time.
