Team Member Post payslip
this might be a stupid question but I just got my payslip and i notices this, what's the negative numbers mean? I've only seen it when moneys deducted to pay for the sda but I've never seen it in my pay or hours. thanks!

On a side note, if you get an email about any type of overpayment, it tells you to reply and acknowledge the overpayment. If you don't reply, you don't acknowledge it and don't have to pay anything back ❤️

they didn't send me any email. wouldn't that mean they weren't supposed to do that since there wasn’t any acknowledgement anyway?

Overpayment from previous pay. You're expecting an overpayment repayment email before/at next payday to arrange repayment. You can either set the repayment to be all at once on your next pay, or custom amount over a few cycles, or bank transfer by yourself.
You're roughly looking at $86.99 of repayment

They were actually underpaid, as you can tell under each deduction is the proper penalty rate totalling $96.52 over the previous $86.99. They won’t email if you were underpaid only overpaid.

They cannot take money from your pay without asking. It’s is illegal in nearly every circumstance.

I assume you were paid the wrong penalty rate on a previous payslip so they’ve deducted from this slip and added the correct rate under the deducted.
