Payroll Horror Stories
Is everyone else as amused as we are at the stories coming out of payroll? You'd think it would be a relatively easy thing, but the city had to go screw everything up by messing with it. Yes, we know that they're trying to nickel and dime their way to solvency, so they eliminated a number of pay checks and rolled them into 4 main printing days, but couldn't they find anyone to do it correctly? Some stories we've heard:
- Way back for the retro checks, some people had Federal withholding taken out, others didn't. It's seemed to center mostly on husband/wife combinations, but there were others.
- Recruits getting Duty Availability on check, then having their next to checks reduced by a few hundred dollars to make up the overpayment.
- Detective NOT getting uniform checks.
- Now we're hearing about the automatic withdrawals getting screwed up at the Credit Union and they're suddenly taking out a large lump sum to make up for misses? If you have automatic payments withdrawn, you better be checking and balancing your books. They are going to catch the errors eventually because there are too many checks and balances.
Any bets on (A) how bad are the W-2s going to be screwed up, (B) how late the W-2s are going to be because of the screw ups and (C) how many coppers are going to get audited because they filed early and got their updated W-2s later and have to re-file? We're betting it's going to be an interesting tax season.

Keep in mind also that when they implemented the new system, they reset the amount for yearly earnings.
will this get corrected???
Det. get uniform checks? Why, they usually wear bad fitting suits. They couldn't even fit into their old uniforms.(too fat)
Heard about half of the Area 5 dicks haven't qualified yet.
Maybe they can't find their body armor, or it don't fit the donut body. Or they got drunk and lost their duty weapon, and are stuck with that snubby.
FYI... It wasn't just the good detectives that didn't get their uniform checks on time.
Dunkin Donuts Sold for 2.43 Billion Dollars.
Hey! We have small dicks and are badmouthing detectives here. Shut up with the doughnut crap.
P.O.'s returning from active duty in IraQ and Afghanistan are not being paid their retro checks in excess of 4 months and they aren't being paid the money that the city promised to veteran P.O.s at all yet. ???
No one cares there are only a few hundred of them right mayor?
It's totally screwed up when the City mismanage employees paychecks......equally when P.O.'s who have altered checks pockets the money, hope like hell that they have gotten away with something, and raise all kind of hell when the next check comes and its greatly reduces to compensate for previous over payments...
The only people with legitimate gripes are those who had been CHEATED outright by bad math and those who didn't received their earned or promised payments
I still haven't figured out how the overtime payments work. Cycles, payments, etc. Does anyone know?
Also.. a ton of people are not have LONG TERM DISABILITY taken out of their checks it would be terrible if something happened to you and now your out in the cold....
Everyone better get those paychecks that are just sitting in the Desk Sgt's drawer for the past 6 months and take a look. We take a lot for granted.
Who is in charge of FINANCE????
Sounds like he should be fired OR reassigned by the Daley administration… perhaps put in charge of a waste dump at 103rd street?
Direct all inquiries and complaints to Director Frank F. Wilson, Finance Division.

This whole job is in the toliet.. If you have an HMO for insurance better switch over to Blue Cross Blue shield.
Some people are waiting up to a month to see a doctor. CRummy service
At finance they will tell you SORRY officer we have a NEW payroll system. However its been around for 6 months its NOT NEW anymore.. it just sucks. At what point will they fix it?
I wish I knew how to quit you, Phil.

*****************************
All you have to do is tell the call taker that think that you or your family member has an infection/fever and they will get you in ASAP. I learned this trick back in 1986 when I first went to HMO and have been using is ever since. It always works!
How about this! There are about 50 fireman who recieved extra monies for being EMT'S. They left the program a years ago and are still being paid those extra monies. Maybe you PO'S should demand the same payroll people that the CFD has. Free money!
It wasnt fucked up a few years ago when we had over 10,000 cops on the job, now that we have less that 9,500, its all fucked up!!! If we hire some more police, will the problem get fixed?
Honest days work for honest days pay...
Maybe the city is telling some of you something.
I also having payroll deduction for savings bonds . Everything was going smooth until the new payroll system. They are months behind in getting the money to the issuing bank (feds).
We are at full strenght. Just tell the dogass cops to quit hiding and get out there and do their job! Too busy doing fake traffic stops when called, if you can't hack it take the Det. test where the real dogs are!
Yes, I saw the det. team in area 5 rule that a hacked up body in a bath tub was a suicide??? The tool of choice a sword??? Like to see how the victim chopped himself up with the sword!
YES! Finally, the truth! All Detectives are lying dogs. D-1's are honest, diligent and forthright. 8 hard hours spent locking up the evil and protecting the innocent. You're all a little ray of sunshine in this dark world. I wonder what happens to you when you pass a test?
Maybe the guy in the tub was a gook!!
Maybe the guy who posted the information about the guy in the tub is a goof...

It was a girl.
They don't pass a test. ONLY people with clout get promoted. Haven't you been reading SCC?
MAN, this job is easy compared to the private sector. But as usual most cops never had a REAL job before this one.
Well now that the sergeants have a contract, there will be new horror stories to come when they try to figure out backpay.
