Thousands of Novant Health employees throughout North Carolina have reported experiencing significant delays in receiving their biweekly paychecks. The disruptions have impacted workers across the state, with specific reports emerging from areas including Wilmington. These delays are attributed to a recent transition in the company’s payroll distribution system.
For some employees, the wait for their paychecks extended for several days beyond the usual distribution schedule. This situation has reportedly caused disruptions to personal financial plans and has led to concerns among staff regarding their financial stability. The exact number of employees affected and the duration of the payroll delay were not immediately specified, beyond the general description of “several days” for some.
The cause of these widespread delays has been identified as a change in Novant Health’s payroll distributor. The company has not yet released detailed information regarding the specific challenges encountered during this transition or a precise timeline for resolution. Information regarding the name of the previous and new payroll distributors was not provided.
Novant Health is a large healthcare system with numerous facilities and a substantial workforce across North Carolina.
