What did they deduct it for?

You should definitely talk to HR to figure out what happened.

My limited understanding: Not in Canada they can’t. You must have an agreement signed by the employee.

Depends on what time the deduction is for?

The description says salary adjustment

I wouldn’t worry. Submit a ticket to HR to ask what it’s for. Someone from the payroll team will explain. I would suspect it’s a correction of a previous mistake.

But if it’s wrong, the firm will make you whole.

I feel like it shouldn’t be..
I had $100 taken from a paycheck. When I asked payroll and HR, they said it was to calculate taxes for a gift I was given from my org (Christmas gift that was worth $100), but that they would give it back to me. It’s July now, and I have yet to see it added back into my paycheck…

Fishes honest opinion needed. Me and My so presently live in Arkansas, living in our first home with a child 4 year, both of us recently changed our jobs and have HHI ~ 420K, current mortgage 1600/month. We are looking to move to Dallas and thinking of buying a house ~996K with a 15% down. Questions -
1. Should we go for house of that budget? We can afford, but asking based on market.
2. Should we down 15% or just 5% ? Or go for 20% ?

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left.
