<\/h2>\nMistakes happen. Sometimes, payroll and human resources make errors. They may dock\u00a0you a couple of hours or forget to issue a paycheck on time for some reason or another. The key is that they must correct their mistakes quickly or risk legal trouble.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When your employer shorts\u00a0your\u00a0money in your paycheck or\u00a0misses\u00a0a paycheck entirely, you have a right to ask for it to be corrected. You also have a right to ask your employer to ensure it never happens again. However, what can you do if the problem continues or your employer retaliates against you for complaining of a payroll error?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Read on\u00a0to learn more about your rights when dealing with payroll errors within the workplace.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Payroll errors happen. They can occur in any number of ways. Many times, there is an issue with data entry. Therefore, a\u00a0person\u2019s hours or hourly rate are misrepresented. Sometimes, payroll does not get run at all. Checks are late or direct deposits are withheld. These errors may be completely\u00a0unintentional. However, it does not excuse the problems they can cause for employees.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Employees work for a paycheck. No matter how much they enjoy their job, they need to get paid. Their household depends on their salary to help pay bills, put food on the table, and buy necessities for themselves and their household.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When payroll errors occur, employees can no longer pay their bills or take care of their household\u2019s needs. It can create a severe economic hardship that can result in a downward spiral. The entire purpose of\u00a0<\/span>employee wage and hour laws<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is to protect employees so they are paid the amount of money they were promised\u00a0on time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you are at the receiving end of payroll errors<\/a>, you should inform your employer immediately. Let them know the exact problem you experienced. Provide your proof of payment (paystub) to show evidence of the error.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Your HR team should rectify the problem immediately. If you were shorted money, your employer should issue you a check for the money owed to you as soon as possible. They can even cut you a live check to provide you with the additional money they owe you. If they owe you a full\u00a0paycheck, they should be able to cut you a check within twenty-four hours to ensure your deductions are properly applied.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, it would be wise (although unnecessary) for your employer to also provide you\u00a0with\u00a0additional funds to cover any financial charges you incurred because your company made a payroll error.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If your boss refuses to correct a payroll error quickly and efficiently, you have a right to seek legal help. A wage and hour employment lawyer can help you fight to\u00a0<\/span>get the compensation you are owed<\/span><\/a>. They can help you get any back pay your\u00a0employer owes you and recover your financial losses.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Your\u00a0<\/span>employment lawyer<\/span><\/a>\u00a0will help you understand all your rights regarding payroll errors at work. They can help you\u00a0determine the best course of action for your claim to ensure you receive the money and wages you deserve.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Your employment lawyer can help you file your claim for lost wages and institute other remedies that may prevent anyone else in your office from becoming subjected to payroll errors.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, your employment lawyer can help you negotiate a settlement for your claim early in the process.
