<p>阿斯達承認，由於其工資系統在一次失敗的 IT 升級中受到損壞，導致 53,000 名員工被超市少付工資。</p>
<p>超市的執行主席艾倫·萊頓表示，公司已審查其系統，並發現了在 “未來 IT 項目” 改革後計算員工假期和病假工資時的錯誤。</p>
<p>他説，這意味着總共有 53,000 名員工——包括 33,000 名仍在阿斯達工作的人員——在 2024 年 2 月至 2025 年 5 月期間被少付工資。</p>
<p>阿斯達承諾將償還員工所欠的工資及利息。</p>
<p>萊頓先生表示：“今天，最重要的是，我們正在為受影響的同事糾正這一問題，並支付利息。”</p>
<p>這一承認是在《每日電訊報》於 2024 年 3 月披露數千名員工在 10 億英鎊的 IT 升級項目後收到了錯誤的工資單後做出的。</p>
<p>當時，公司表示正在採取 “立即和積極的措施來糾正這一問題，以確保本月這些同事的工資不會出現短缺”。</p>
<p>工資問題是在阿斯達努力將其系統與前所有者沃爾瑪分離後多年掙扎的結果。</p>
<p>此次升級充滿了挫折，包括延誤和故障。其中一個問題影響了數千個喬治服裝系列的訂單。</p>
<p>阿斯達在去年 9 月才完成更新，最初的目標是 2 月完成。</p>
<p>在公司最新的交易更新中，它將最新的銷售下滑歸咎於 IT 升級。</p>
<p>在 11 月，萊頓先生表示阿斯達的業績不佳 “完全與未來有關”。超市在截至 9 月底的三個月內銷售下降了 2.8%。</p>
<p>萊頓先生表示，切換到自己 IT 系統的過程 “至少可以説是不理想的”，指出整合不良和測試不足。</p>
<p>他説，這些問題使公司在其扭轉努力上拖延了六個月。</p>
<p>《每日電訊報》此前還披露，失敗的 IT 工作和隨之而來的工資混亂導致阿斯達從員工那裏追回了多付的工資。</p>
<p>週四，阿斯達表示將把這些錢退還給員工，“以便我們平等對待所有同事”。</p>
<p>在被少付工資的員工中，超過 80% 的人總共欠款少於 19 英鎊。</p>
<p>阿斯達的首席人事官詹姆斯·古德曼表示：“沒有阿斯達的同事會在經濟上受到損失。無論你目前是否與我們合作，或曾經與我們合作，我們都會以 12% 的利息償還每一分錢。”</p>
<p>“任何被多付的同事將被允許保留這筆錢，我們將償還因切換到未來項目而在 2024 年 3 月追回的款項。”</p>
<p>他補充道：“我們還採取了措施，確保類似事件不會再次發生，並得到了外部專家的驗證。”</p>

<p>阿斯達（Asda）已承認由於 IT 升級錯誤，53,000 名員工的薪資被低估。超市的執行董事長艾倫·萊頓（Allan Leighton）表示，薪資系統的失誤影響了 2024 年 2 月至 2025 年 5 月的假期和病假工資計算。阿斯達計劃連同利息一起償還欠款。作為 “未來 IT 項目”（Project Future IT）的一部分，IT 改革面臨諸多挫折，導致最近銷售下滑。阿斯達保證不會讓任何員工在經濟上受到影響，並已採取措施防止未來出現類似問題</p>
