<prompt> Human: I get paid biweekly 924.25 and work 40 hrs a week. I recently got paid for 80 hrs of normal work and 80 hrs of overtime 2075.82. It was someones mistake working on the payroll. Once they realized their mistake, I was paid 0.00 for the next paycheck and 498.60 for the next. A total of 2574.42 for the 3 paychecks. I would normally make 2772.75 for 3 paychecks. So this is a difference of 198.33 due to having more taxes taken out of the large amount I was accidentally paid. Ive been trying to figure out what to do about it. I would like to be paid the 198.33 but the lady I talked to said the taxes have been paid and theres nothing she can do. Ive been trying to get this resolved. The people managing my paycheck accused me of intentionally doing this and that I tried to hide the mistake. I notified my boss the day I was paid and we couldnt get in touch with the payroll people for a week. So I dont know if theres nothing that can be done or if they just dont want to do anything. Should I just let this go? Or do I file it when I do my taxes? Edit: Thanks so much everyone! This is my first job the first time I will be filing taxes so I just wasnt clear on everything. As long as Ill get it back at the end Im okay with waiting. I now realize that I was paid the same and taxed differently and theres nothing payroll can do now to fix this. Edit 2: wow thank you all so much for your input! Im surprised this got so much attention for such a small issue. I will worry about the 198 when I file my taxes! Also I will read everyones comments tonight and reply to them. Edit 3: okay so while I was at work I spoke to a lady briefly and she just kept telling me there wasnt anything they could do to fix the problem and the money was already sent away from the initial pay check. My boss was calling me at the same time so I told her I had to go. I havent gotten the chance to call her back today. I just got an email saying my case number has been closed! They gave me a case number when I reported a problem I feel like theyre trying to hide something. Not exactly my issue but Im sure they have messed up bigger things in the past and they dont want me to draw attention? Im okay with just letting all of it go. But its ridiculous that they closed my case without me getting a chance to talk Assistant: Usually we would either do a reversal or recalcute the check for the correct amount, have the associate pay back the overpaid amount and then reverse it in the system once repaid. Could also post it to the stores schedules, so their accounting manager remembers we will be regularly deducting a certain amount, usually around 300 for an hourly associate. We try to never take more than 50 to 75 of a future check. Its already our fuck up if we didnt catch it. Zero dollar checks are a shitty thing to do.Human: Okay that makes sense. Yeah they didnt handle it very well. I have money saved up so the 198 right now isnt urgent  <response>: The caveat I would make is if it happens again make sure you have it in writing that you told your boss.
