Just had to share this experience.
Last week, I took off work for bereavement (which my company covers). I just had to submit a special timesheet before I left. I completed that and sent it to our payroll department who emailed me back saying they received it and it was done correctly. I did not check my email while I was off. When I got back, however, I had emails filled with automated messages saying they didn't receive my timesheet for the week and my pay would be withheld. I emailed payroll and it turns out that they had forgotten to forward my timesheet to the appropriate people. I was supposed to get paid last Friday, but due to the errors did not receive my paycheck. They mentioned that I would need to request a hard copy of a check rather than having it automatically distributed to my account. I typically get paid bi-monthly, but due to this error, I will not be getting my first paycheck until the same time I get my next paycheck. Typically, The first paycheck of the month goes directly to rent, and monthly bills. I am so grateful that I have been doing a good job of saving funds and have my emergency fund set up. I didn't feel the hit, but would have if I had not been prepared. Money is the last thing I want to be worried about during this time of grief.
