Ok, but if your check was $200 short, you paid less tax on that check.

[@cyleleghorn246]

​@@marychrishannon7048I don't freely give interest-free loans to anyone. If you get paid $200 extra dollars on 1 paycheck, that bumps your effective tax rate up by $10,400 for that paycheck ($200 x 52 weeks) which may put you in a different tax bracket. Whatever money taken on that paycheck as taxes belongs to the government for up to 16 months, you can't get it back or otherwise use it to pay bills or live until the following April. It doesn't work out in your favor, don't spread misinformation if you don't understand how hourly taxes and payroll work.

Caesars entertainment does this to people on a regular basis. I was forced to wait an entire month more than once for my pay to be corrected when it was someone else's mistake. I quit when they denied my fmla after my one year old son was in the hospital for over a week

[@marychrishannon7048]

You do not get to pick how you are compensated. I would have contacted payroll directly. Usually the managers do not know what options payroll has to correct the problem. $200 is enough money that the payroll department should consider getting the money to you today or tomorrow.

Veronica gets fired and prosecuted for theft, spending a night in jail before spending savings or maxing out a credit card to bond out…she hires a criminal defense attorney and an employment lawyer, going into massive debt. She sues the employer for wage theft and retaliatory discharge, litigation takes two years, she loses her car and her apartment. She eventually wins a little money. The lawyers make bank. The End.

Normally this series covers clueless managers. Here the employee is clueless. And under arrest.

This happened to me at a previous job. Didn't get my first paycheck for almost four weeks because they 1) didn't tell me i was supposed to be logging my hours on a system they never told me existed and 2) had me listed in the wrong office in another city for some unknown reason. I almost just walked out. Truthfully I should have. Their payroll department was an absolute joke. They forgot to take out my state taxes for an entire year that I worked there.

[@marychrishannon7048]

And you never noticed that state taxes were not being withheld? ? For an entire year. There are forms to fill out for payroll. Did you fill out the form to indicate you did not want taxes withheld. That is a legal option. You still have to pay the taxes to the state at tax time. You are responsible for making sure you are being paid on time. It doesn't hurt to ask. Did you ask when you were hired, when is payday and will I get a check at at that time. Did you get an employee manual that included info on paycheck procedure.

[@JS-mg1mk]

@@marychrishannon7048 they were taking out state taxes the entire first year I worked there and then just stopped the second year. Nothing had changed about my situation. I never altered anything. They just stopped taking them out. I never said I wasn't responsible for paying my state taxes. I said it was an absolute nightmare to have an entire year of taxes be due at one time because my company's payroll department was incompetent and changed my deductions without my knowledge or permission.

[@JS-mg1mk]

@@marychrishannon7048 And yes, I knew when payday was and how my pay was supposed to get to me. THEY did not tell me that my hours were to be logged into a system they never informed me about and nobody else in my office was required to do this, it was only for my position. They also didn't list me in the correct office which was, again, their mistake, meaning my first check didn't even go to the right place when they finally cut it.

[@adamhorton1601]

Unfortunately this won't fly anywhere. The intent to repay was communicated and acted upon within 24 hours. Yes it was slow, but honored. Stealing from someone and deeming it compensation on your terms for loss of wage or money is still stealing.

[@PtyRick]

At this point I would fire her ass 😂

[@tsmc1130]

Veronica said b**** betta have my momey, pay me what you owe me 🎶 I was missing my ENTIRE paycheck (and I get paid monthly), due to no fault of my own, and they wanted me to wait an entire month. They gave me the whole, we have to get a signature, it takes x-numbef of days, blah blah blah you're better off waiting for your next direct deposit. So the next time you find yourself feeling guilty about leaving early, calling in sick, taking vacation, just remember: they do not give a d*** about you, your mortgage, your kids, nome of it. Tomorrow is not promised, always put yourself unapologetically first.

[@SummonerOrthan]

I know this is bull. An old job once messed up my paycheck. No harm no fowl because they cut me one ON SITE. I went home WITH MY CHECK THAT DAY. All cleared up, no excuses for jobs to not be able to do that

[@omalahboo3163]

Veronica says FAFO

[@Itsalotouthear]

BING! 😂😂😂!

[@cocoace7587]

Maaaannn , maannn, maaann 😂. I wish I could be Veronika in my next life 😡. # I need to see a man about a horse 🐎 😅

[@JadaCol]

😂😂

[@MrDakaltiBugger]

can't make out if Veronica is brilliant beyond my common sense or if she's dumb

[@googleuser8740]

Actually that is stealing and she would lose her job for that. Late payment is different to stealing

[@starspark9471]

This is not realistic. It is stealing because it's not in the way that you are contracted to receive the money. Go through other avenues to get the money due to you. This will likely land you in jail!
