Stimulus Package ?
I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on this. LOL
We got an email at work that says the new payroll model had been loaded into the corporate system and we should be seeing the stimulus difference. (Okay, I'd heard everything from $8-20 add'l per check, but I guess that's PER WEEK.)
So I open my paycheck and yes, there's a difference in my federal tax withholding. Great. But when you take Gross Pay minus the deductions listed, it doesn't come out right. LOL (Fake numbers, but let's say gross pay is $1500, total deductions of $300 (healthcare, taxes, etc.) My net pay SHOULD BE ($1500-300) $1200, only it deposited $1275. 
CWs and I have been discussing it and no one can make heads nor tails of it. Someone said it shouldn't even be applied until April 1st, so most of us are concerned they're going to turn around, realize their mistake, and TAKE MONEY BACK from us.
Anyone?
Re: Stimulus Package ?
We don't get bonuses, but that actually made me LOL Mandy. Us... get bonuses?! LOL They consider us keeping our jobs a bonus, I think.
We don't have a Payroll Manager, and if we do, he/she is in India.
EXACTLY. I would like to know if that's going to be my new payroll amount or not (if it is, we're adjusting our automatic savings ASAP! That would be AWESOME.)
But... two CWs AND myself are having this issue... so who knows how many other people in this company are. (It's a huge company.) A lot of people could be SERIOUSLY screwed if they do spend it (and I suspect a lot of people would - my manager didn't question it. She just assumed it was more because of the stimulus. TG my CW noticed 1+1+1 =/=3!)
If I were you, I would put the extra amount of money in a savings account to get some interest on it, just in case your next check has that much less (or just a little less).
And yet another reason why payroll should NOT be outsourced!
That's a good idea, Mandy... not sure how much we'd get on so little an amount though in two weeks.
There are a lot of things that shouldn't be outsourced... we have seen SO MANY PROBLEMS coming up with the things that have been outsourced to date and of course, nothing will stop the "It will save us money" train!
