Paycheck Problems? Carrier management has instructed the Benefits Specialists of Local 527 that the employees' immediate supervisors should handle all paycheck problems. While we will comply with this directive, we have also informed the company that the following information will be posted here to assist our members: After reporting your problem to your supervisor, please allow an appropriate amount of time for the error to be corrected.
