<prompt> Human: My new employer has messed up each of the first 5 paychecks in one way or another. First it bounced because there wasnt enough money in the account, next one was held by my bank because my bank found this new company sketchy after the first bounce my entire account was put on hold after I tried depositing the second check , the next 2 were for the wrong amounts due to forgetting about removing the wire fees that they tacked on the last couple times they fucked up.I havent been too disappointed yet, but todays check was immediately debited back out of my account. It was our first direct deposit, and with a new payroll company our previous company dropped us due the previous fuck ups. He claims that our account number with this new company is one digit away from the account number of another company, who had an issue with their account and the payroll folks accidentally reversed the paychecks for both companies...Im just wondering if this is possible in any way at all, for those familiar with the payroll industry?Its also super convenient that my taxes werent being recorded properly. My most recent paycheck is less than before, and I didnt receive stubs with my older checks, so I dont know what is miscalculated. Edit: typed hastily on my phone at work. Apologies for poor flow.Edit 2: Im taken aback by the extreme position everyone has taken. I have full confidence the errors are due to incompetence rather than lack of income. I do take all of you seriously though, and I appreciate everyones time. Edit 3: one item that has seemed fishy to me that made me question my taxes, is the extra 15 dollars they added to my checks to cover the wire transfer fee were exactly 15 dollars. That made me wonder how it was added without taxes touching it. Assistant: Had st like this some years ago. Always had a reason why it did Not work.. Last one was reasonable. Got out of Business. Would look for a New jobHuman: Were definitely not going out of business. Im still beyond frustrated with having to go through this every week though. Assistant: When a company starts screwing up payroll, its the first sign they are going under. Lots of excuses and truthfully, payroll isnt that difficult. You should look for a new job now.Human: I really really doubt theres any hurt for cash flow here. The owner is filthy rich and his product sells. Assistant: Lots of companies with plenty of cash flow go under. Especially when the owners have a habit of pulling every dollar they can out of the company and get into a lifestyle that is dependent on lots of cash flow themselves.Human: Owner wears the same raggedy clothes every day and drives a 95 Buick. I have a really hard time believing the future isnt bright for the company, but the payroll problem is a supreme load of crap. Edit: misleading comment. Filthy rich owner doesnt spend like a filthy rich person. Hes addicted to making money.  <response>: As long as you understand mismanagement can bury a company thats doing good business and that your observations dont easily reconcile with each other. A successful, well-managed company does not have chronic payroll problems. Period. At the very least, you should demand copies of your check stubs. Assuming US company, they have various federal obligations that will require them to have these numbers. If they cant produce them for you, and have no records of quarterly tax payments, you could be on your way to serious IRS headaches in addition to the cash flow problems this could pose. Best to get ahead of the curve now. If they can produce records and get it straightened out, great. You need those stubs anyway. If not then theres clearly more going on here than a few honest clerical errors that happened to be consecutive.
