Identification of underpayments impacting current and former employees
In July, we identified four issues involving underpayments that have affected how we pay some of our employees. We regret that this has occurred and are sorry for the impact this has had on employees who have been affected. Our people give so much every day, and it’s disappointing that we didn’t get this right.
