Another Payroll Screw-Up
You know, there are professional companies that do payroll:
Of course, then some connected moron would have to lose their job, and you can't have that.

DEI hires, what else do you expect?
No way this isn’t a game the city is playing.
When I retired, my last few checks were confusing. I got paid for duty availability and then they subsequently took it out of one of my other checks saying I shouldn’t have been paid for it because it was paying me in advance for a period I’d no longer be sworn. Yet, they taxed me on the duty availability- then when they took it out - they took out the full amount. So I paid tax on something I never received. On top of it, some checks were at HQ and they sent another to my unit. Nobody at payroll or the miserable civilians on 1st floor could tell me where one of my checks was. Before someone chimes in about direct deposit- it stops as soon as your last day, you can’t even go into green slips to see what you should have coming.
Just move the uniform and duty to the same day as payroll. Not that hard of a concept
I’m really getting sick and tired of this. Can we put a formal complaint on payroll? OIG office? I mean there has to be something we can do.
Arvitis was a fuck up at OEMC and nothing changes fuck up at Cpd
When the city can’t get payroll correct, there is a major problem. The beginning of the end. Chicago is not the city that works.
Lookee here we be subtracting the W4 from the W6 and then adds back 96 and divides that by 3
Competence is too much to ask from this DEI city.
I’m sure the POS responsible for this debacle almost every month has no qualifications, except that he/she checks the right box.
And as always there’s no “accountability”, even though that’s such a buzzword these days. This city makes me sick.
Prelude to paycheck errors thanks to bj the clowns reckless spending on illegal aliens
Post the names of who does the payroll. It’s the government it should be transparent.
"Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday acknowledged a controversial pension sweetener for Chicago cops and firefighters signed into law late last week by Gov. JB Pritzker will significantly set back Chicago’s fiscal health but maintained both his and the governor’s hands were tied."
Did he worry about about fiscal health when he handed the teachers a big pay increase without the funds to support it?
They've had so many payroll errors and it continues because there's no consequences at the CPD. If that happened in an actual business, the whole finance department would be gone.
Math is raciss, I've heard of late.
Did anyone see their checks go up after paying off the retro pension deduction from the last screw up? I have not seen the money that was getting taken out be put back into my checks
This has happened way too often. This unit has one job just one and that’s payroll. How do you fuck this up !? Oh , wait, DEI hires never mind.
The City should've left our payroll dates the 1st and the 16th. We never had this many problems and issues. This is ridiculous. Please continue to vote these people out of office.
Uniform, by contract, has to be paid on the 1st. Until a new contract comes it won’t change. That being said I don’t think the unions would object to a change just to stop this nonsense.
Hey John are you still using city vehicles to go on vacation
Did he worry about fiscal health when he was bending over backwards to fund the illegals?
"The beginning of the end"???
Tell me you haven't been paying attention without telling me
Net pay is 'lower' because 'less' tax was taken out...? ? ?
So, using this logic, would 'higher' taxes taken out = 'higher' net pay...? ? ?
Dis just rude
The name on the AMC is responsible
He was a fuck up at streets & San also. Pretty sure he was part of some cocaine bust. He has to be friends with that flying monkey
Looking guy rich guides. Don’t believe me, put a side by side picture from wizard of oz next to his
That would mean jcat would have to do something. Good luck
Oh yea that will solve it .. then we get taxed on a larger check vs the smaller one if it was on a separate check
Yet everyone continues to come to work and be proactive.... stfu if your not going to do something about it and start playing the same games they are!
Hey genius, in case you didn't know the director of payroll isn't a minority
Nice try, the guy in charge whose name you see attached to the Admin Msgs is one of "you."
Slightly off topic, and coming to Chicago soon.
Sex Abuse Settlements Bankrupt Democrat States

"The dirty little secret of the accusations is how few of them can even be verified.
With over 7,000 claims and over $4 billion in payouts so far, it would seem reasonable that hundreds of sex abusers had also been named and are being arrested and prosecuted.
The actual number in Los Angeles is 2. Not 2,000 or 200. Only 2."
Los Angeles County is dealing with $2 billion in costs from the wildfires, after the city’s first black female mayor and first lesbian fire chief badly mishandled the blazes, but the $4 billion in sex abuse settlements are double the worst fires in the area’s history."
"Little more was needed than the word of an individual and perhaps ‘corroboration’ from one of their friends. While there were real abuses and real victims, the wave of thousands of complaints made them all but impossible to seriously investigate."
Another demonstrated reason that Chicago is a broken city.
Is this a direct quote from the doofus tapes?
Look at the minutes of the FOP subcommittee that discussed and voted on the paper vs. electronic checks which was linked to accepting 7/22nd.
Uh.....it's Arvitis. Reading is a skill.
The timekeeper in 014 with 10 years on(8 of those years are as the time keeper) processes the OT. He wears those braces on his wrist because he complains of carpal tunnel syndrome and complains about Catanzara while he has a cush spot. These are the types of people responsible for payroll. It should be civilians at least they’d be more professional and we’d get this goof in 014 back on the street where he would cry and quit. Trim the fat, no more armed timekeepers.
Sick and tired, you funnin. You sound like most dumb coppers with no balls and just complain and don't do shit
Can you explain that to me again?
Retired here...My entire career this happened. Always at unexpected times. I learned early not to depend on the next" paycheck. I soon saved enough money to not get paid for a time, and life would continue as normal and the bills would get paid. I always had a hidden coffee cup in the cupboard with about two weeks' pay inside it in case the ATMs went down as well.... . Must have been my training as a cub scout, "Be Prepared"...Now, I get paid once a month, and I don't mind at all. lol!
Personally, I would like the "memo" to include a reason for the mistake.Who is at fault? What could have caused this galactically stupid fuck up? Will some one pledge harder to not let it happen again? If it does will someone be replaced?
dei at its best
prayers for the 5 soldiers shoot at fort stewart by that rotten racist mutt
too bad they couldnt take him out
to the five soliders a speedy recovery
Don't expect the FOP to do anything.
Does anyone know where the FOP food truck will be staging at the Bud Billiken Parade helping the officers who will be cancelled RDO out in the extreme heat
Ya but he’s in charge of a bunch of :-) yep
obviously, that at fault person is not a non-connected blue shirt
Well now we pay bills with credit cards, and pay credit card bills with other credit cards 🤣
Don’t go into work, take off like the Texas legislature. Protest you disdain for the horrible conditions
Nice try, the guy in charge whose name you see attached to the Admin Msgs is one of "you."

He might be in charge but the one doing the actual payroll work is one of "you"
How do you like COLA or maybe the repeal of WEP. Sure they weren’t the sole participants in these policies but name any major actions like this with any other administration
Are you stupid? You want civilians? Have you seen the civilians this city hires? Those people couldn't add one plus one.
Wait till you retire. Make sure you know how many hours ,pday, furlough day's you have coming. I retired 15 yrs ago from area 3 and the checks for several of us that I know of were short thousands. Mine was $15,000. I caught it and notified payroll and it took 2 months to straighten it out.
This has nothing to do w DEI. This is a programming problem with an outdated system that can’t handle changes.
I have yet to see the City of Chicago outsource anything without making it worse. It’s stunning, frankly.
Ill be on the medical rolls...
I wouldn't expect a CPS graduate to be able to do math...why do you?
The opening up of credit via 'credit cards', aka betty and wilma's lengendary mantra, Chaaaaaarge It!!!!, was the generational beginning of the lazy ways of personal finance habits.
Our grandparents' generation had the Great Depression, during which our parents' generation were raised. Our generation had the benefits of our parents knowing what a penny saved is a penny earned truly means.
Our offspring, having been raised thoroughly in an economy of credit availibilties, offset only mildly by our attempts at economic guidance, transform the obvious value of frugality into an oblivious virtue worthy of mockeries.
That thoughful discipline of not spending money you do not have has been dismissed as caveman thinking.
The reliable and abundant feasting obstructs even the imaginings of famine. Our grandparents and parents know that famine is always hovering on the horizon, aka, reality.
Those of our generation who have paid attention, know this also.
The quality you both are referencing is not a color of skin, it's a state of mind.
We trust that you will sniff out the location and, like the Pied Piper, shall follow your lead.
Hahaha you idiots. It’s on a Saturday. All the fop guys will be at home or at lake houses.
Speaking of AMC messages the ivory tower sent out reminders of the smoking standards as well as the prescribed shoes as per the uniform standards. If you look at Uniform and Property U04-01 UNIFORM AND APPEARANCE STANDARDS you will look down to SECTION XXI SUBSECTION I LINE ITEM 12. (Members WILL NOT) wear iridescent, brightly colored, or nonconservative personal items (e.g., eyeglass/sunglass frames, pens, watches, etc.) while in uniform.
So why on the police department Facebook page at a ceremony for interns is Deputy Chief Senora Ben wearing the same YELLOW glasses that have been worn in D.C. and other functions. That seems to be a violation of that section of the order pertaining to non conservative colored eyeglasses. So sergeants are expected to check shoes, bump cards, and other uniform infractions while there is a deputy chief in violation daily? This little shit is part of the problems with discipline, outside of promoting those that shouldn’t be promoted. I may sound salty but I’m not enforcing rules that aren’t enforced on those telling us to enforce the rules. It isn’t right.
JCat and entourage are in Miami at the FOP Conference, wining, dining, and spending our dues.
Look at who was in attendance at that subcommittee.
Signed,
Invite got lost in the (e)mail
(Nice try, the guy in charge whose name you see attached to the Admin Msgs is one of "you.") Another Idiot? That knows no color.
Leave FOP alone, they are out everyday helping officers on suicide watch, being stripped, strokes/heart attacks, wakes, etc. The FOP field rep position is no the CUSH spot you have come to believe.
Uhmmmm....there a telephone number right across from the fellow who sent the memo. How about instead of posting and asking questions or making wild guesses on an anonymous blog, call the person responsible for this mistake.
Or, is this all about venting one's frustrations away, and a little slice of therapy?
AMEN
Do as i say soldier not as i do!! Thats an order!
How about the From Section of that Admin Message ? Seriously who typed that ?
I worked in a unit that had many civilians.. trust me- you don’t want civilians doing your payroll. All DEI hires . Lazy, incompetent and stupid .
Jealous?
Hey, Genius, the total tax bill will be the same.
The Aldermen just bent over.
Get a CR on them.
"Personally, I would like the "memo" to include a reason for the mistake.Who is at fault? What could have caused this galactically stupid fuck up? Will some one pledge harder to not let it happen again? If it does will someone be replaced?"
Now THAT's funny.
Send in more clowns...Honk-Honk!!!
Retired from water along time ago. Our checks were always wrong too. We had a laborer doing payroll named John arvitas also. Thought he got fired during a scandal. Guy would be past retirement age now i would think. 2 John arvitas doing payroll for the city hhmm.
This memo is by John Arvitas II (the second)...another generation of incompetence and another generational connected hack.
Chicago values, since 1837...
I say this is no fan of DEI, you really need to check before you overuse the term. This department is filled with idiots running the show. There used to be the “he’s a good guy,” that didn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. Cline filled plenty of spots with those guys.
A little search says this John Arvitas is a II (2nd) and in his 40’s. So as usual, Chicago’s nepotism factory is still in full swing. It’s as bad as DEI.
Obviously you have never called these morons.
Yea and you bought a house for 20k, had three cars and a stay at home wife with five kids- private school paid for all five as well as a college fund. I’m sure you’re a great person to talk to about finances and saving money! Let me guess, your house is now worth 750k and you refuse to sell for a dollar less for the new kids on the job who want that same experience you had? Foh
You’ve never called headquarters. They don’t answer the phone in any department.
The City really needs to read the law...
Uniforms are required to be worn as a condition of being able to perform your job. They are not suitable for everyday wear (e.g., the beach). Consequently, the IRS *specifically* exempts law enforcement officers, firefighters, and healthcare workers from taxation. Get your money back fellas...
