CMS payroll corrected

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools payroll data we posted last week contained incorrect annual salary information for about 1,250 hourly workers who were cut from 40-hour to 37.5-hour work weeks as part of this year's cost-cutting. CMS ran the numbers on the old 40-hour basis; the Observer's online database has now been corrected, thanks to an employee who noticed his listing was wrong and spoke up.

Most of the 18,202 listings, including all the highly-paid staff, were correct in the original listing, so the errors did not affect the analysis done for Sunday's article based on payroll data. The employees working 37.5-hour weeks are mostly assistants, according to CMS.

So, let me guess. Those salaries are now lower than originally reported, right?

I am in California, and my employer has mistakenly failed to pay me for all of the days I've worked. How much time does he have to pay me the full amount I'm owed?

Payroll companies can handle worker related issues along with centralized and state regulatory issues as well. Payroll will also eliminate the necessity to become an expert on topics such as withholding amounts.

Payroll is a complex business and that is precisely the reason why many small businesses and organizations prefer to outsource their payroll to a specialist payroll company.
