View Full Version : This didn't sit right with me

I just wanted to get some opinions on this because it didn't sound right to me.
My paycheck got shorted a few hours a couple of weeks ago because of an issue with our time clock. No big deal, I talked to my favorite manager and he said he would straighten it out. I go about my business. A little while later, he comes over to me and asks how I wanted the money, out of the register or added to the following week's check. I said whatever would make it easier for him. He then says he would have it added to the following check because if he gave it to me in cash he could only pay me 75% of it. That suprised me and I questioned it. He said that if I took cash I was only entitled to 75% of it. Why?? Does that seem like a scam to anyone else? I could understand if they would then add the rest to the next check, but he acted like that would be all I would get.
It doesn't matter, I guess, because of the way it was handled anyway, and I no longer work for the company. It just seemed weird to me. Any thoughts??

It's your money and you earned it, so you should get 100% of what you earned, minus taxes and all that.

minus taxes and all that.

This is kind of what I was thinking - if they have to generically factor out taxes and such, 75% is probably close to your actual earnings/take home pay, so that might be what the difference is. I'm assuming if they just add the hours to your next paycheck, anything that normally would be taken out for taxes/benefits will be done automatically.

Most likely he was talking about taxes being taken out

Yeah, the minus tax part sounds about right.
