Pay day never came for many Fort Worth ISD employees on Friday.
Teachers, service workers and even administrators streamed into the school district's administration building in search of answers and a pay check.
"Surely we could be respected enough that our pay checks are timely and correct," said Hawk Kennedy, a teacher for FWISD.
Mix ups have been a problem since January when the district adopted a new payroll system.
"We had a human error which resulted in incorrect data being put into the system," said Clint Bond a Fort Worth ISD spokesman.
Late Friday, workers were trying to correct the problem, while employees worried about paying bills and bouncing checks.
"I work 30 days for a check. They expect me to work, I expect to get paid when I'm supposed to," said FWISD employee Emmet Johnson. "I don't' work for my health, I don't work for a social event, I work for a pay check. That's the only reason I'm here."
