Mistake in my pay

I probably should have mentioned this earlier...although what the heck, I don't owe you guys anything and hey, I'm lazy!  But seriously, I've been waiting with anticipation to find out exactly how much in my favor a little mistake in my pay will be.  Well, to be honest it's not "in my favor" that I've been short by a little bit of money for the last TWO YEARS, but it'll sure as heck be in my favor to get it all back in a lump sum.

I noticed because there was a little mistake on my vacation, which...ironically...probably hasn't been resolved.  Anyway, when I was looking over THAT check, I checked out my night shift pay (a 10% bonus) and found that I was probably short by a fair amount.  I dropped by payroll and...well it turns out that there's ANOTHER problem.  Since early 2006 the formula used to calculate my pay has been screwed up.  It's an odd problem that only happens because of the odd way it dealt with paying people that worked for two departments.  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, I'm not entirely sure how much it's off by but I think it probably averages AT LEAST $20/month, possibly as high as $60/month...for the past two years.  *fingers crossed* hopefully the latter.   They're supposed to let me know before (or on) my next paycheck at the end of the month.

Heh, I do get the feeling that I'll have to go back yet again and straighten out the actual hours that are missing from my shift pay.  I think I'm short 160 hours, so that wouldn't be bad either.  It might be as much as $200 more after tax.

By the way, the Incrimination movie is apparently complete.  I'm not featured anywhere in it (just did the voice for the trailer) but it's damn good for an "amateur" production.
