The hospital I work at recently gave everyone in the hospital a raise. When I opened my pay slip today, I was surprised to see that I was getting a raise from $13.36 to 13.65. I've been making $13.76 for over a year! I called the error to the attention of the payroll department and was told that I should have only been making the $13.36. They also told me that I will have to pay back the extra 40ยข an hour they've been giving me. I have a copy of my last raise slip that says I was to get a raise from $11.76 to $13.76...$2.00 was the average amount of the last raise they gave...
So now, instead of a raise, I am technically taking a CUT in pay and they are going to take $16 a week out of my checks for the next 18 months!
I am mad enough to quit right now...sigh...
Can they do that? I have proof that I was supposed to me making the $13.76...I would have questioned it 18 months ago if I'd thought there was an error!
