Payroll glitch | 9,500 Asda staff given incorrect payslips - some missing fortnight's pay

Thousands of Asda employees have received incorrect payslips, with some missing up to a fortnight’s pay, following a payroll glitch.

The Telegraph first reported on an internal memo sent to the supermarket giant’s senior staff, disclosing that thousands of workers, who are paid by the hour rather than salaried, had been impacted by the mishap.

The national newspaper additionally reported that some affected staff were missing as much as two weeks’ wages from their pay.

The letter from Asda bosses to store managers said: “During our payroll checks, we have currently identified around 9,500 hourly paid colleagues who are impacted by incorrect pay, due to what we believe is an issue with a specific holiday calculation as we have moved to our new systems.
