I was terminated from a company September 4, 2005. Supposedly I was out on FMLA but I didn't know it. The company was calling all the shots. They even cut a check for my un-used vacation in late August showing their intentions were to get rid of me. They then sent a letter in October saying they over-paid me for the pay period of 09/26/05-10/09/05 and they were seeking repayment of those funds.
Then, they sent me this letter:
Dear Mr. X
This is a response to your letter dated September 5, 2005 addressed to the Payroll Manager. We have reviewed your request and determined that there is an account receivable amount of $589.60 owed by you.
The amount owed is the result of the wrong inclusion of 16 hours of regular time and 8 hours of overtime for the total of $701.20 in your pay statment dated 10/14/05. You were not entitled to these earnings since you had exhausted your Non-Industrial disability half pay benefits' quota on 09/12/05.
The amount calculated in error ($701.20) on your pay statment was sufficient to cover taxes, medical, dental, voluntary AD & D, group universal life insurance, a portion of Union Dues for USW Local XXX, Savings Before- and After- taxes as well as Savings Loan deductions. A zero net pay statement was the result of the above mentioned situation and therefore no funds were transferred to your bank account.
A total claim of $589.60 is the result of the correction stated in your pay statement dated 10/21/05, which includes the elimination of the gross overpayment amount of $701.20, the inclusion of medical and dental through 10/31/05, partially offset by the adjustments to your Savings Before and After taxes and voluntary AD & D. '"
The letter ends by saying if I have any questions about my account please call.
Can anyone explain this to me in layman's terms?
How can a person be fired in September of 05 (my last actual day on the job was July of 05), and get hours to cover the taxes, loan payments against their 401k, Union dues, etc in October?
(I didn't ask them to pay this and they hadn't been paying it while I was out July, August and September)
It was made to look like I actually worked 16 hours of regular time and 8 hours of overtime during the last days of September going into October according to them, to cover my expenses. These were listed on the pay stub as hours actually worked, like I was at work when I wasn't.
Please explain this to me. I think it's a bogus and a bunch on crap but the way these companies are spinning things these days to try to survive all rules and rights are history.
