Last week Q got a call saying that he got a raise. Yeah!! We are so excited, right? Well normally when you get a raise you see an increase in your check, correct?
Last weeks pay check was actually $7 less than normal. How can that be? He just got a raise. Well, we look at his pay stub, and they added the raise but then took it out again in the deductions. Huh??? So basically, he got a raise, so it looks like we make more only to be taxed more on top of having the raise taken out. What the world??
Needless to say, he contacted the company about this and they are so conveniently unavailable at this time to take his call. Then he got the spiel... leave a message and we'll return your call promptly. It's been 4 days people!!!
To be continued....................
WELL WE FIGURED IT OUT. THE HR DEPARTMENT SAID THAT EVERY QUARTER THEY TAKE OUT A CERTAIN AMOUNT FOR LONG TERM DISABILITY. AND COME TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY ADDED TO OUR PAY AT FIRST WASN'T EVEN THE RAISE.WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. SO NOW, Q HAS TO CALL HIS BOSS TO GET HIS RAISE IN HIS NEXT CHECK. AT LEAST THE CONFUSION IS SOLVED AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER IN HIS NEXT PAY CHECK!!!

Ouch! That sounds like a "thanks, but no, thanks" kind of raise!
Nice.
Bummer....maybe you moved to a higher tax bracket? I don't really understand how all that works.
That is one tough raise. Good luck with that one.
ARGH! I HATE that! Tax brackets, blah, blah, blah.
Happened to us too. Gotta love the taxes.
The more you make the more taxes they take out but you still should see a difference. I would definitely have his HR department explain that. Also with the new "stimulus" junk less taxes are suppose to be taken out.
Goodness, that sounds like a confusing situation. Taxes make my head hurt.
Thanks for coming by my blog!
I'd get a line by line explanation from payroll!!!
Well....How rude! :) Hope you get this mess worked out. Knowing you, you could use that $7.00 to purchase $50.00 worth of food. (you're amazing at that) GO GET IT BACK!!!
Have a great day.
