5-5-5 and check your paychecks, folks!

May 15th, 2012 at 08:56 pm

I took Sunday off from exercising, but yesterday I did a Gilad workout. This takes me to 12 workouts down, 13 to go. Almost halfway there!

Today I'll probably try to walk up the stairs as my workout. It's hard, but it's shorter compared with all the other workouts on my list.

I do have to be careful not to leave all my free-weight and Gilad workouts until right at the end. He does weight training in his workouts, so it would be overdoing it to have to do all of that on consecutive days! I have 6 left to do and 16 days in which to do them, so I should be all right if I do one every other day or so.

AS got her paycheck that was supposed to be minus SL healthcare (we switched her to NT's temporarily, until the adoption goes through and she can be put on mine). The total seemed really off, and it looks like they still charged us for her healthcare, or just got AS's regular premium really wrong.

I've been at a few jobs before my current one and so has AS. But I feel like we both have experienced so many irregularities with our paychecks, and if I hadn't gone on this debt-reduction journey, I wouldn't even have caught them all. You name it, it's been wrong on one of our paychecks: No bus pass deduction. Double the bus pass deduction. Way too much tax deducted. No nonsmoker waiver on healthcare premium. Flex spending not deducted.

I do think our HR situations are unusually flawed, but it makes me wonder if I missed similar mistakes on past employers' paychecks that cost me money. And whether other people do too.

I'm sure most of you on this site would notice an irregularity in a heartbeat, but if you haven't paid attention before, take a good look at your paystub and make sure everything looks right! Especially if you've had any kind of event that affects the deductions or your pay.
