I get have two pay periods a month (from the 1st to the 15th and from the 16th to the 31st). The problem is this: For my first paycheck I was paid 1560. If I figured it out hour for hour though and it would come out to be 1728. 1992 - 1728 = 264 dollars. In theory, if a person works long enough it would all even out in the end. The company is being sold in Februrary and I have calculated that I will never recoup that money. The accounting department acknowledged the problem, but they shrugged it off. Do I have any legal recourse in this situation?
BTW, In the the hiring negotiations we discussed a dollar wage, not a yearly salary. Also, I am just a little peeved that this sort of sloppy accounting is going on in the 21st century with computers that can figure out complex wage equations in seconds.

Did you discuss a dollar wage, or an hourly wage? If you did hourly -- then, you may have some recourse -- if you're required to report the hours you've worked . . . but, it depends upon what the contract says, and whether you are salaried or hourly.

You did not give an hourly rate. You did not give a number of hours. You did not state if these numbers are gross or net. Without more information, for all we know ,the check is correct.
