English term or phrase: behind on sg
"Before getting to my work station, I found out there were unplanned absences. It took me minutes to figure out how to man the lines and make sure everything was covered. By that time, I was behind on my payroll. Wouldn't you know it, I had a computer issue, it took much longer to get the payroll in the system. Next thing you know, I'm being called to a meeting that I didn't even know I was supposed to attend."

Hungarian translation:lemaradásban/késésben van
Explanation:
ebben most biztos vagyok:
időbeli lemaradás, késés

pl. the train is behind schedule
a vonat késésben van

a beszélő illető késésben van a bérjegyzékkel kapcsotos feladataival, ezt veszem ki a szövegből

Köszönöm. Talán jobb lett volna angol-angolban feltennem; úgy, hogy mi különbség van a "behind on", a "behind with" és a sima "behind" között. Magyarázat itt a harmadikra érkezett, de nem az volt a kérdés.
