Tips to help ensure accurate paychecks
1. Keep track of your work time by keeping a personal data file, i.e., appointment book, palm pilot, or any type of PDF.
2. Check your paycheck every pay period against your personal data file.
3. When taking “A” time, inform the Resource Nurse and/or Staffer at the time of the phone conversation how you want to be compensated:
a) PTO,
b) ATO, or
c) not be paid (unpaid).
4. Every day that you work, review the grey bar/New Daily to:
a. ensure accuracy, i.e., missed breaks, overtime, double-time, SNC, (at LPCH, other hours such as committee time, jury time, are documented on the Daily schedule time sheet),
b. add corrections to your previous work days. Write a comment across your name and include the date, hours and reason for the correction, i.e., 4 hours PTO, 4 hours education time, 8 hours SNC.
5. On your last of work, make changes/corrections to your hours on the grey bars/ New Daily. Include the date(s), number of hours and write legibly. You can also call the Staffer and ask to review your hours for that pay period.
6. Changes can be made up to Saturday morning at the latest at the end of the pay period. It is much smoother to make corrections prior to the pay check being issued than after.
7. Check your paycheck every pay period. For errors:
a. email (not phone) your manager. Be clear and concise.
b. cc: CRONA by sending us email and for SHC – Geoff Pridham at gpridham at stanfordmed.org. and for LPCH – Val Batis at vbatis at stanfordmeg.org. CRONA will continue to track errors in an effort to ensure that you are paid accurately.
