Sample Letter for Payroll Dispute Dear [Employer's Name], I am writing to address a dispute regarding my recent payroll deductions at [Company Name]. After carefully reviewing the payroll statements and comparing them to my employment contract and the state's labor laws, I have identified inconsistencies and discrepancies that require immediate attention and resolution. I would like to bring your attention to the following concerns: 1. Overtime Compensation: As per my employment agreement and the Hennepin Minnesota labor laws, any hours worked beyond the standard 40-hour workweek should be compensated at one and a half times my regular hourly rate. However, I have noticed that my overtime hours have not been correctly accounted for in my recent paychecks. I request a thorough review of my timesheets to ensure accurate overtime calculations. 2. Unlawful Deductions: Upon analyzing my payroll statements, I have identified deductions that are not in accordance with the Hennepin Minnesota labor laws. These deductions include [specify deductions], which are not legally permissible without my explicit consent. I kindly request clarification on these deductions and a refund of any unlawfully withheld amounts. 3. Inaccurate Leave Balances: My accumulated leave balances, such as sick leave and vacation days, seem to be inaccurately recorded in my payroll statements. This discrepancy has resulted in incorrect accruals or deductions, ultimately affecting my overall compensation. I urge you to rectify this issue promptly and adjust my leave balances accordingly. 4. Noncompliance with Employment Contract: As stated in my signed employment contract, certain benefits and allowances were agreed upon, such as healthcare coverage, retirement contributions, or performance bonuses. Nonetheless, these agreed-upon provisions have not been reflected accurately in my recent pay statements. I expect these benefits to be calculated and provided based on the agreed terms. To resolve this payroll dispute, I kindly request the following actions: 1. Conduct a thorough investigation: I request a comprehensive review of my payroll details, including timesheets, deductions, and benefits, by your payroll department or relevant personnel. 2. Provide detailed explanations: I expect a detailed explanation for each payroll discrepancy identified, including the rationale behind any deductions or discrepancies concerning my wages and benefits. 3. Rectify the errors: Upon completion of the investigation, I request prompt adjustments and corrections to my payroll. This includes reimbursing any wrongfully deducted amounts and updating my leave balances to reflect the accurate accruals. 4. Communicate the resolution: Once the payroll dispute has been resolved, I kindly ask for written confirmation detailing all adjustments made to my payroll, along with a revised payroll statement. I believe in maintaining a mutually beneficial working relationship and resolving conflicts amicably. Therefore, I request your prompt response and resolution within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days]. If necessary, I am open to scheduling a meeting or discussing further to ensure a fair outcome for both parties involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Employee ID/Number] [Contact Information]
