Need help: New job has me as hourly instead of salary - how to get HR to fix?

Congrats on the new job! This happened to me too. Just be straightforward with HR. Tell them there's been a mixup with your pay type and you were supposed to be salaried, not hourly. They should be able to fix it pretty quick.

make sure you understand the pros and cons of salary vs hourly before you make the switch. Sometimes hourly can be better if you work a lot of overtime.

ugh HR can be such a pain to deal with. Good luck getting it sorted out!

I had a similar issue and it took forever to get someone on the phone to fix it. I finally found a solution tho! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your offer letter and contract. Make sure it clearly states you're supposed to be salaried. 2. Gather any relevant emails or communications about your pay structure. 3. Schedule a meeting with HR. Don't just drop by - this shows you're taking it seriously. 4. During the meeting, calmly explain the discrepancy between your offer and how you're currently being paid. 5. Ask about the process to correct this and how long it will take. 6. Follow up with an email summarizing what was discussed in the meeting. 7. If it's not resolved in a reasonable timeframe, escalate to your manager or HR director. Remember, mistakes happen. Approach this as a problem to solve together, not an accusation. Good luck!

am i the only one who prefers hourly? 🤔 overtime pay is where its at

Plot twist: what if they ment to put you as hourly and the offer letter has a typo? 👀

Whatever you do, don't let this slide. I made that mistake and it messed up my taxes and benefits for a whole year. Fix it ASAP!

have you tried turning HR off and on again? 🤣
