NORCROSS, Ga. — The owner of a Norcross healthcare company says his employees weren’t getting paid earlier this month because mail carriers delayed mailing their checks.
Bill Gerdes told Channel 2 investigative reporter Ashli Lincoln that he no longer has trust in USPS after mail carriers delayed mailing dozens of paychecks to his employees.
“If employees are impacted, they could potentially go and tell other employees,” Gerdes said.
Gerdes says earlier this month his business partner placed nearly 30 stamped paychecks in a postal box outside of the Norcross Post Office. But he says for more than a week, they noticed the checks weren’t getting deposited.
“It’s been an ongoing issue,” he said.
When they questioned the postal office about the delay, he says workers told them the mail was never removed from the collection box.
“Evidently, they have a process and someone was to check it,” Gerdes said.
