My last day was on 8/31 and I received a direct deposit on that Friday. Today I received 2 direct deposits. One is the usual amount and the other is about 70% of the usual paycheck. Any ideas what’s going on and if this money is safe to use?
Your accrued vacation pay?
This is in Atlanta. As far as I know, the company doesn’t pay out unused vacation.
Companies do pay unused vacation if you quit in the same year. But, goes to trash if Jan 1 kicks in and if you are still working. I worked in Colombus, GA
Regardless of the source I think you’re off the hook. Enjoy your free bonus
That would be very reassuring.
Risky assumption
Call HR/ payroll.
I’ll try to contact them just in case.
Dont try, do.
PTO cash out is likely. Regardless of the state, many companies have a policy of paying it out as they consider it earned income. The way to really get around it? Have "unlimited PTO" that way you never pay.
It seems like the best thing I can do is fill out one of those contact us forms on the company website. I hope those things actually work.
Just keep your yap shut and enjoy.
Unused PTO? In California they have to pay you unused PTO by law
This is in Atlanta. Could it be unused employee stock purchase or something? I don’t remember the exact amount left but I don’t think the numbers add up.
Your paycheck will have these details, ask for a copy
