Archived Low Paycheck

[randomperson80]

I was a Seasonal Cashier and on Sunday, I barely found out I was laid off. However, I was informed that my last paycheck would be today. I worked about 20 hours and my paycheck came up to $9.55. Is this wrong? Did they only pay me a bit because I was laid off? Should I call?

Go to hr or ehr to confirm hours you worked.

Can you answer these questions for me:
- Did you physically work in the store before you got your final pay today? Like, did you have a shift, worked it to the end, and will no longer have any more shifts in the future?
- For your final pay, did they give you cash or an actual check attached to a paystub?
- Did you work 20 hours counting only any shifts worked between Sun (12/31) to today, or are you including any dates worked prior to Sunday?
- Was your store's bi-weekly paychecks available for pick up at your store today?

My last day was on 12/30. I saw I wasn't on the schedule on the wall or online. I asked the Front End Team Leader if they knew if I was being laid off and they didn't know. So I called hr the next day, 12/31, and they told me I was laid off but my paycheck was coming. It is bi-weekly and I get it by direct deposit. On my bank account, it says I got $9.55 from my Target deposit.

Non-exempt Team Members don't receive their final pay via direct deposit. Only Exempt employees have that option here. Your final paycheck should be coming in the mail soon.

Okay, Thank you! Could the $9.55 be a mistake then?

It's hard for me to tell without knowing what it says on your paystub. Did you pick up your paystub? If not, go pick it up and ask your HR what why you got paid ~1 hour of _____ (whatever it says on the stub).

I would totally look into it for you but since I don't work at your store, I don't have access to your pay statements, time card (shows the exact amount hours you worked), accruals (sick time), etc. I don't know if your HR did any historical edits for you nor the exact date that they processed your termination. Not knowing things like this makes it difficult for me to help you figure out why you received $9.55.
