I would definitely say something. That is a big chunk of change to be missing out on every month. And they shouldnt get mad or whatever about it, they made a mistake. Everyone does every once and a while. Just ask your boss if you can sit down and go over your pay with them one day before or after work. Just say you were looking at your stub, and noticed that it seemed a little off to you. And ask them to explain it. It shouldnt be a big deal... good luck! |

You should check with your boss on this. Maybe you are being paid less than you thought during a probationary period, but you need to check since you are not aware of an adjustment like that. |

It's now or never! You'll look like an inattentive jerk if you point it out a month from now. If you negoatiated a higher salary... you deserve it! I'm no Dear Abby here, but it's either that or you bite your tongue. Talk to your boss soon. |

If they are figuring it wrong then you should go to someone about it. If you think they are figuring it wrong because an interent website says you should earn more, then I wouldn't say anything. What did they tell you you'd be making when you hired on? |

It is all in the approach. Don't go in and say, "Hey! You screwed up my paycheck!" But do go in and say, "I'm new and I don't really understand how my paycheck was calculated. Can you go over it with me?"
You may find there is a reason (some deduction or using 24 pay periods per year instead of 26 (twice a month or every two weeks). If they've made a mistake they'll discover it as they explain it to you (or you can gently point it out) and they'll fix it. And at that point they'll understand why you "couldn't figure it out" -- you'l get a rep as sharp and diplomatic. If it is right, then no harm and you'll find out why.
Let us know how it works out. I'm guessing the 24 vs 26 pay period per year will be the culprit. |

If I were you, I would first bring it to my immediate manager`s attention. If the person who does your payroll is on site, bring it to his /her attention also. Be civil and mature about the matter. Don`t lash out or threaten in any way. As far as endangering your job, I don`t see how that would even be possible if you`re completely honest about it Show your pay stub, if possible, for evidence as well as what you already have. Good luck! |

Take it to your boss...the boss knows what your salary is and it is his responsibility to make sure you are paid correctly. Do you want to work there taking a $280 hit each month??...I don't think so!! |

hell yes, take it to your supervisor, they are human and can make mistakes. they will cut you another check or add it to your next check.
if you don't want that $280, you can have your job send it my way, that is almost half of my mortgage. i could use all the help i can since i live on a limited income.
seriously, talk to your boss, they won't get mad if you tell them they made a mistake, it would be like if you messed up on the books you work with, they would want it corrected.
good luck. |

Absolutely! You are worth your pay...just open the conversation by saying something like, "There must have been some computer error when my pay was calculated, because this amount doesn't add up to the (choose one: hours I worked, pay rate we agreed on, salary offered, etc). If they are stiffing you pay for hours you put in, you don't want to stay there much longer!
They may thank you for bringing it up so their books balance!
Good Luck & Happy July 4th~ a day to celebrate freedoms! :) |

Just ask it as a question "Like I was just curious" or could you help me figure this out cause I keep coming out $140 short. Don't go in acting like a big know-it-all and accuse them of ripping you off. YES you should ask |

you've got to say something... they need to retro pay you or cut an additional check. talk to your manager or direct supervisor. you aren't working for free! this ain't a volunteer for community service hours! they owe you the money... it was their fault! |

Of course you should say something... it's just how you say it that matters. Your job requires you to calculate income... wouldn't it be considered amiss to not notice an error in your own? The time to get this resolved is in the beginning. You will be noted for being precise (rightfully so) and it will be much easier correcting a problem when it was detected rather than waiting and then wanting back pay to boot.
You agreed to work for a certain amount and it's called earnings. You've earned it. Maybe there is something they are doing to warrant the miscalculation but either way, you need to know how your pay is figured so you can better assess whether your paychecks are correct or not.
When everything is on the up and up, there is no problem for either party. Don't let this build into something is shouldn't have. One week doesn't matter... It's the beginning and you want to start off on the right foot, for both sides. |

yes!!!! i was short paid $50 for two pay periods, i definitely said something if you earned it you deserve it, it would be unethical for someone to not give you what you earned and fire you for it as long as you do it in a professional manner |
