AAARRRGGGHHHH! My paycheck was wrong!

[RaeT,RN]

So you know you get excited about your first paycheck, maybe even decide to treat yourself to something, or breathe a sigh of relief because now you can pay your credit card that you ran up in school . . . Somebody goofed and payed me a CNA's wages!!!!!!!! I did work as a CNA, so I can see how they may make the mistake, but . . . how frustrating (but kind of comical, I guess.)

I was also a former CNA.

That's the mistake that I thought it might have happened to me. But it didn't.

BTW, HR previously warned me that I may get CNA pay for about a week or so before RN pay because they can't financially change the payrate based on new position during the two-week paycheck period! You can't have two hourly rates in one pay check. Fortunately, I started to work at the begining of pay period.. Therefore, I get RN pay on the first paycheck..... however, I don't get as many hours for orientations during the first week as the new employee. I don't get a full-time hours initially. :uhoh21:

Talk to HR and your manager.. I hope everything work out for you.
