Kroger wants dozens of bakery managers to return bonuses they received in March. It's the latest in a series of payroll mistakes.
Kroger employees complained for months about payroll mistakes that made their checks too small. But it turns out it's also a problem if your bonus check is too large – and the company demands a refund bigger than the bonus and overpayment combined.
The program brought a pay boost to roughly 800 department heads in 110 Greater Cincinnati Kroger stores. Only the bakery managers ended up with incorrect bonus amounts, said Garvey, who is working on a compromise to allow workers to pay back their overpayment over time. Kroger has responded to those federal cases with arguments that it acted in good faith to identify and correct payroll mistakes. It also argued that employees failed to pursue grievance, arbitration and other remedies before suing.
On April 14, Kroger's Payroll Department sent Gilvin a letter, claiming she was"overpaid a gross amount $6,794.48" and warning of"further collection efforts" if she failed to choose one of four options for repayment.
