Payroll errors have numbered in the hundreds just in the last few months.  While many of these errors resulted in a "short" pay check, some of the errors have resulted in excess payment.  Recently FD payroll overpaid some employees over a period of time, but took back all the money on the next check.  In some situations this left the employee with nothing for earnings.  Even deductions for health insurance and retirement were left off the check.

As always please watch your checks closely and call payroll with any descrepencies.  if there were any moneys TAKEN OUT for overpament please remember your rights:

- Under state and federal law you cannot have more than 15% of your check garnished for an overpayment correction.

- By contract, the County must discuss you overpayment with you and work out a reasonable repayment method.

- The County must clearly explain the reason for the overpayment, not just send you an email with no explanation.

If you have a garnishement without the above issues addressed, please send us an email at willp@local1014.org immediately so we can address within this pay period.

Remember on March 20th we posted and emailed a request for information on our members who have had payroll issues (such as above).  We will be meeting very soon with the county so please get us the information we have requested.

Thank You!
