No payday for El Paso County employees

Glitch with bank holds back deposits

By Veronica Macias

EL PASO, Texas —

 Friday was payday for most El Pasoans, but not for some of El Paso's county employees because of a  problem with the government-used bank.

 "Yeah, I was worried. I think everyone in the county was worried," Sandra Rodriguez a county employee.

The county sent out an email to all employees saying there would be a delay with their pay deposits. But the email also said the county hoped  to  get  them  paid  by  11  a.m. Friday,  or  at  least  by  the  end  of  the  business  day.

Some  employees  called  KFOX14  News  and  said  that  had  not  happened.

 "There  is  mortgages  to  be  paid,  bills  to  be  paid,  and  yeah,  I'm  sure  it  affected  a  lot  of  people,"  Rodriguez said.

 Others  said  it  was  the  talk  around  the  water  cooler  on  Friday.  Many  were  worried  about  their  automatic  withdraws  scheduled  to  hit  their accounts, and  some  were  concerned  about  immediate  expenses  like  being  able  to  get  gas.  

            

 The  county  said  it  would  reimburse  employees  for  any  cost  incurred  because  of  the  problem.  County  employees  who  did  not  see  a  deposit  by  5  p.m.  said  they  would  receive  a  deposit  posted  by  10  p.m
