<prompt> Human: The company moved me from Canada down to their new office in the United States. I started on the 1st of the month. After two week I receive my pay stub and its missing over a week of pay. HR is said that I was already paid for my time because the US office started their payroll on the 22nd of the month and the Canadian office begins on the 1st of the month. They insist that the Canadian office already paid me for the week.The way I see it, Im getting penalized because the two offices payroll system dont line up and they cant be bothered to move the spreadsheet around. HR wont budge on this and my manager, who is a techie like me, is siding with HR. Ive looked around for articles on precedence on this issue but it would appear that I have a unique issue. Am I in the wrong here? Edit: Some closure here. I took my US paystub and most recent Canadian paystub to HR and after careful explanation they finally understood my concern. I will be paid for the week at the end of my contract or retirement. It pays to know the right questions to ask.Thanks again, all. I always feel like such a simpleton when it comes to HRfinance issues and more importantly, when to pick my battles about such things.  <response>: Show them your list of hours worked, and ask which paycheck contains the hours in question. If they can answer, they paid you.
