What is "tax" when you get a paycheck?

I was shorted on my paycheck, can they charge me for city tax again when I get my check for the shorted hours?

  • I got my paycheck today and was only given 120 hourd when I worked 128 hours over two weeks. So, I was shorted 8 hours of overtime. I called and they said they will give me a check tomorrow for the 8 hours of overtime they shorted me. I get charged $8.00 of city tax on each paycheck every two weeks. The charged the $8.00 of city tax to my paycheck today with 120 hours on it. Are they allowed to charge me another $8.00 when I get my check for 8 hours tomorrow? It was their mistake I don't see why I should be penalized and charged that $8.00 again. If they would have had all my hours correct on my paycheck in the first place, I wouldn't have to get another check. Thanks for any advice, Christian

  • Answer:

    City taxes are a fixed percentage of your pay. You will get charged, but for only the 8 hours you were shorted.

If the tax is a fixed amount per week, they shouldn't. But unless somebody thinks to stop it, the payroll software might take it out. If so, talk to your payroll people.

they shouldn't, no

The payroll department should know how to handle this situation correctly and get you your correct pay amount for the missing the 8 hours when they get set up and around to doing this tomorrow as they said that they would do it tomorrow. Hope that you find the above enclosed information useful. 06/22/2011
