The smallest payroll check ever.

Friday when doing payroll, I was zipping right through it, then stopped dead still.

Wait.....this guy only worked 8 hours, and he went hunting. Yet he has both health insurance and child support to pay for the week.

WHATTTTT? You gotta be kidding me....It comes out to $ .12 clear......Now what am I to do?

Since he is sitting in a deer stand miles and miles away, OF COURSE he will not answer my phone call, SO I must make a decision.....Does he only get his 12 cents for the day, or can the child support be adjusted since he only worked 8 hours?

After two phone calls and a on line form that does the calculation we got it that he got $ 23.42 more according to the on line calculation. If the employee does not work a full week it can be calculated what to pay for the child support.


WHOOPIE DOOOO...... So now his check is $ 23.54 for a day's pay and they will probably send us a updated child support withholding sheet that shows that he is $23.42 behind in his child support.

Today When he was in here at lunch we were both laughing about it. That isn't even grocery money. But now he knows he must work one full day to cover his health insurance, child support and 401K payment. So now tomorrow he can start making money for next week's check.

HOPE HE HAD A BIT OF MONEY SAVED SO HE HAD FOOD IN THE HOUSE WHEN HE WENT HUNTING.
