MINEOLA, N.Y.-- The president of the National Grid has apologized for a computer system problem that has postponed paychecks for thousands of workers who put in added hours during Sandy. Newsday states President Tom King stated in a companywide message he was taking "full responsibility" for the problem. He stated he expected the problem to be fixed by the end of the month, which with Dec. 6 a significant number of workers got payroll adjustments. The company has stated the problem stems from a conversion to a new payroll software system in the weeks preceding the Oct. 29 storm that knocked senseless power to millions in the Northeast. National Grid contracts with the Long Island Power Authority to run electric operations in the New York City suburb and parts of Queens.
