UFCW 227 Update: Labor Board Charges Filed Against Kroger Over MyTime Pay Issues

Since Kroger's transition to MyTime, we have heard from numerous union members who are experiencing a variety of pay related issues. We have been working hard to address these issues on a case-by-case basis, but the problems remain widespread and ongoing.

Currently known MyTime pay related issues include:

  • Missed or incomplete paychecks

  • Holidays not being paid

  • Premiums not being paid (such as night premium)

  • Personal holidays/vacations not being paid

  • Overcharging for health insurance

  • Taxes applied for a city you don’t live/work in

  • Missing overtime

  • Missing tax deductions

  • Missing contributions to health insurance benefits or 401k

In addition to class action grievances and individual grievances, our union has filed charges against Kroger with the National Labor Relations Board. We have been assigned case # 09-CA-309576. We are currently exploring other legal options to hold Kroger accountable.

It is important that we hear from every member experiencing a MyTime pay related issue.
