Current Events > So I think my company is wrongly deducting money from my check...

(+) Yeah! (+)

So I recently downloaded the ADP app, which allows you to take a pretty good look at everything going on with your paycheck.

You can see your gross/net pay, but also a list of deductions your employer is holding.

On the list, I see them taking out for health, dental, life insurance, city taxes, federal taxes, etc. This is all expected/normal.

At the very bottom, I see "employer deduction: $95"
I have no idea what this is for, but it goes back several months, and maybe even years. YTD they have deducted over $1500, in just that.



I asked a couple guards that have been filling in since my co worker retired, and they are getting less than $5 taken in that section.


What do??
---

Ask them?

Is it for 401k?
---

Ask your payroll or Human Resources department what that is and how they came up with $95.

This. There's a department devoted to this. It's called Human Resources (HR).

I texted my boss and she said

"That's something the company covers"


And no, not 401k
---

So you don't get a paystub? How have you never seen this before?

Nice details she gave ya.

Our company is paperless. Until I downloaded this app, I just went with whatever I saw in my bank account.

Yeah, it's very frustrating.

I can take a screen shot of the ADP page if needed
---

Yeah I'd ask for more details from her. That's like $200 a month assuming you get biweekly.

My work uses that ADP app too, it's really nice.

Bump

Ask her to elaborate on that response? lol
If she won't then find someone else to ask about it.
---

there's nothing we can do for you. this is something specific to your employer and they will have to clarify this for you.
---

Yeah, it looks like I gotta try talking to them again. I was mainly looking to see if anyone else had something similar happen.
---

They should be able to tell you exactly what that money is going towards.
---

Depending on where you work your direct supervisor probably isn't the best person to talk to. You should speak with HR or whoever submits your payroll to ADT.

It's the company tip that they take for giving you the privilege of working for them.
---

One would think.

I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, had it been a one time thing. Maybe if it was for fingerprints, or an ID, or something.


IF they owe me $1500, hopefully I don't need an attorney to get it
---

Possible you specified an amount you wanted deducted from your pay for tax purposes?

Check your W2

Honestly that's what I thought it could be at first. Because my job is contacted security. Like we're taking X out of your check, since we are letting you work this contract.

But nope.

I don't really see anything about it on my w2

Would be box 12 or 14 most likely.

Check your W2

I pretty much always claim 0. I've been here for a few years now, so not positive, but pretty sure.
---

Box 12 is almost $2200... box 14 is blank

What letters? Also may be in the state portion of the w-2.

A quick google search says that's what your employer pays for your health insurance, which I guess would make sense.

The company I work for does have to pick an insurance plan for each contract

Is that the same amount for the "employer deduction" per your YTD pay stub for December 2016?

Damn, about to check ADP myself to make sure my **** is in order.
