I was so mad at work today that I almost cried
LIVID. Got my paycheck today and I expected it to go back up. It didn't so I emailed for clarification with the payroll lady (asked her what I can expect for my next three months of checks before the new contract year starts). It took all morning and four different calculations for her to finally get it right. Gives me no confidence that it has ever been correct. What really got me is when she emailed me a higher number and said "that gives you a nice increase" as if she chose to give me a raise or was doing me a favor. It was still over $700 per month less than it should have been. I understand that people make mistakes, but at least own up to it and when someone emails you a concern, take a moment to really look into it and get it right rather than fvck around with it all morning. I'm sure there are people out there who just blindly go with whatever she says and have gotten screwed.

Re: I was so mad at work today that I almost cried
Per month! At one point the discrepancy was about $1700 per month.
It is all so confusing, but I inquired about my pay in March and she calculated it as if I wasn't returning (and that has been my pay for March, April, and today's check). I did return to work 26 more days this school year and she wasn't going to pay me for those days. Then she was going to pay me for nine of them. Then she had the wrong number of contract days for me. My sick days also got messed up in all of this. She finally assured me that she double-checked the numbers and it was right. Needless to say, I asked for her new calculations so I could see it for myself.
Are you having a sit down meeting with her to rework these figures? That makes me sick. What recourse is there for backpay? Will this screw up your taxes?
Money makes me nervous. When I went out for my surgery last year I worked really hard to plan everything, then found out afterwards that I lost out on 6 weeks of paid time off. I was in tears constantly and feel like I really got cheated out of that time/money, but didn't know how to fight for it without crying.
