[QUOTE="Kae3106, post: 1116594, member: 27557"] If it had been in the scheduler properly and you had the time available, it would have been paid on time and as a separate check. Since something went wrong and your supervisor had to put in an adjustment to get you paid, it was paid along with your current earnings. If the supervisor had specifically requested a separate check, Payroll would have paid it separately. If no such request is made, the default is to add it to the current check. This does impact the federal and state withholding as the federal on two $500 checks is not the same as one $1000 check. You have a couple of options here if you want to adjust the tax withholding. One is to send the check back to Payroll and ask them to reissue it as two separate checks. Or you could have your supervisor put in another adjustment and ask them to recalculate the check as if it had been paid separately and refund you for the excess federal and/or state withholding. (There will be no effect on Fica/Medicare) Or, as was mentioned earlier in the thread, you can tweak your W-4 settings on upsers for a week or two...instead of 2 allowances, change it to 3 or 4, for example. Just remember to set it back or you'll owe at the end of the year. I have seen all of these things done regularly in Payroll. Vacations/sick weeks/option weeks that are scheduled and taken as time off are paid at the employee's normal withholding rates. Vacations/sick weeks/option weeks that are cashed out and not taken as time off are paid at the supplemental withholding rates...currently 25% federal. If a cashout and regular wages are on the same check, the payroll system will calculate the taxes separately based on the type of earnings. [/QUOTE]
