This is how payroll works. When the job ends she will get one more check after she leaves job

Anonymous wrote:We had a new nanny start a few weeks ago. For the first two weeks, I wrote her checks on Friday for the hours worked those weeks. I then entered her info into our payroll company’s online system to set up direct deposit. The way the direct deposit works is delayed a week. So, for nanny’s third week of work, the payroll company told me not to write a check, as her pay would be by direct deposit. But the system is set up to do the deposit one week later. So, nanny’s hours for last week will not be paid until his Friday. Our nanny feels like I should have written her a check last Friday for her hours last week. I tried to explain the payroll company system- that she will still be paid for the hours, it’s just delayed- but I get that she feels she wasn’t paid for a week. Should I just write her an extra check st this point? I don’t want to double-pay her, but want to make sure she is happy!


You should have made absolutely certain that she had her pay. It is unconscionable on your part. I hope she quits. There is no excuse as you would have been advised how she would be paid.
