During open enrollment I signed up for a flex plan. It takes an amount I agreed to out of my pay each month tax free and puts it into an account that I use for health care expenses. Thing is, my work didn’t set up any of the employee flex plans correctly, so the system didn’t take money out the first month from the paycheck, but money was deposited in the flex accounts.
They are now saying I have to pay that back in my next check, double in February. I said no, reduce the total by one month.
I can technically afford it in my next paycheck, but that’s ridiculous that I have to deal with this. Since the contract says that the company will take a set amount each month, do they have any right to shift the month? I did say I would reduce the whole value by one month, to make it even.
I’m so irked by this…
