December 2022 Vacation Issues

[WillcontactA$AP]

We are able to take vacation in the last week of December in our center. December 2022 I took that week. Payroll screwed up and paid us an extra week for some reason. My boss came to us and told us we would have to repay the extra paid vacation week. They also took away away one vacation from 2023 and said once we pay the full amount back, we would receive our vacation back. Not sure how that works considering it is two separate years and their screw up. We have to pay the full amount back including taxes. I obviously never received the taxes. The amount I was supposed to pay back was $1314 (amount excluding taxes). They currently take $100 from each paycheck. I am now up to $1600 on the way to pay the “full” amount of $1867 (45 hrs). Is anyone else in this same boat? Also I want to file a grievance, but what article am I citing? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

December 2022? So they paid you too many weeks? If you feel this is an error article 17.

They’re only realizing and taking care of the issue now?

I had that week off, no issue here.

If he's been paying on it for four months, they probably realized it in February. Not really unreasonable.

If they paid you too much, why would you suggest they don't ask for it back? Unless you told them in writing and they didn't act in the appropriate time frame, you owe them.

Happened to me a few years back.

Payroll paid out an extra week at the end of the year, then later fixed it by taking away a banked future Vacation.

Just told the manager I'm keeping the money and will schedule an unpaid vacation later. He was happy he didn't have to do anything else to fix the issue.

I think I'd be fighting the tax part as payroll automatically takes out taxes. That's their monkey to fix not yours.

Contract states that if you are paid more than you earned, you have to report immediately. It is something you can be fired for.

What Article of the contract says that ?

There is no time limit on paycheck issues. They can still make you pay it back!

You can't if you never noticed.

I think the only way they can prove you noticed is if you tell them or someone else.

What if you rat yourself out by posting about it on the internet?

It depends on what you supplement says under "Maintenance of Standards".
