I have been "second" for grocery for over one year now, having completed the successor training. The pay increase was supposed to begin after the successful completion of the training, so I was told by more than one person. However, here we are over a year later and I'm still not receiving my pay rate. Is this common for a person to have to file a grievance to get their damn pay? Just wondering.......

Did you actually submit your paperwork with signatures to corporate or did you just go to the classes and do the ACTs and assume things would just happen on their own?
If your union steward wants to grieve it, then it it should be ok.
Your contract does things differently. Here, we have a manager, a back-up and then me. I am in charge when they are both gone at the same time. When the manager and back-up are on vacation, I get his payrate for that week. Other than that, my payrate is normal.
All paperwork was completed and submitted to the G.C. for our division. I even called him personally, and he told me that we would meet to complete the necessities, but it never happened.
Well that might be part of the problem; your paperwork doesn't go to the coordinator themselves, it goes to div hr. They are the ones responsible for approving your promotion.
Yes....thank you, I know that. I appreciate your reply, but everything has gone through the proper channels (HR), via my store manager (allegedly, anyway).
Obviously, not everything has gone through the proper channels.
Just because one person from one department hands over paperwork to another department doesn't mean it's already finished.
Meaning, just because your manager handed it to coordinator, then to HR, then to wherever, that doesn't mean it's been acted on. Boxes not ticked, areas not filled, or not even being signed off on can cause delays on any paperwork. For all you know, the person in charge of your paperwork's final destination threw it away.
Check with everyone along the chain. Ask them if there's anything missing or incomplete. Remember, this is the same company who didn't bother warning its permanent resident/non-citizen workers to provide valid work authorization or risk being placed on administrative leave until a day before it's due. We lost quite a handful of people during that time. They had the proper paperwork, but since even the local management was so slow to act on it that the two month head's up they received went nowhere.
