Sample Letter for Payroll Dispute [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Employer's Name] [Employer's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Payroll Dispute Dear [Employer's Name], I am writing this letter to address a serious concern regarding my recent payroll statements and to formally dispute the accuracy of the wages I have received during [specific time period]. As an employee of [Company Name], I believe there has been an error or omission in the calculation of my pay, which I would like to resolve amicably. Firstly, I would like to bring to your attention the discrepancies I have noticed in my pay stub for the aforementioned period. Upon careful examination of the payroll statements, I have found the following issues: 1. Underpayment: I have identified instances where I have been paid less than the agreed-upon hourly/daily/weekly rate for certain shifts or days. I have cross-verified my work hours with the working schedule and cannot find any explanation for the wage shortfall. 2. Deductions: There have been unexpected deductions made from my pay, without any prior intimation or valid explanation. I would appreciate clarification on the purpose and legality of these deductions. 3. Overtime Calculation: It appears that the calculation of overtime pay has been inconsistent and incorrect during the specified period. As per the employment agreement, I should receive overtime compensation for hours worked beyond the contractual threshold, yet my pay stub does not accurately reflect this. 4. Unpaid Leave: There are instances where my paid leave days have not been accounted for and compensated accordingly. It is essential that any accrued vacation or sick leave be accurately reflected in my pay. 5. Other Discrepancies: I have encountered miscellaneous differences in my pay that require further investigation. These include incorrect tax withholding, missing bonuses/incentives, and inconsistent holiday pay calculations. I kindly request that you address and rectify the aforementioned issues as soon as possible. Understanding that errors can occur, I believe this matter can be resolved by reviewing my payroll records and making the necessary adjustments. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with an explanation for each discrepancy, along with a revised and accurate payment calculation for the affected period. Additionally, I would like to request the opportunity to discuss this matter further with a representative from the payroll department or a designated authority. I firmly believe open communication will help clarify any misunderstandings and contribute to an amicable resolution. Please consider this letter as a formal notice of my payroll dispute. I expect a response within [a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the date of this letter. In case you require any further documentation or information from my end to facilitate the resolution process, please let me know promptly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I remain committed to resolving this dispute through peaceful means. I sincerely hope that our longstanding professional relationship can withstand this challenge as we work together toward a fair resolution. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
