Is this a payroll error or normal?
I just began working at a restaurant for my summer job and noticed that in my latest paycheck there was a HCL and HCP line added to my pay stub.
It seems that they added the HCL to my income and then subtracted my HCP to get to my total wage. However, I’m kind of confused to why this suddenly appeared on my pay stub after not being there for the past two paychecks, even more considering that I’m not even enrolled in their health insurance program as that is only for full time managerial positions.
My managers don’t seem to quite understand what they are either and they explained it to me as something that is helping me pay less taxes(?) but I’m seeking more definitive answers on this subreddit since I was unable to get a firm answer from them.
What I’ve thought originally was that I basically had additional money subtracted from my wage because of this since the HCP was subtracted from the total wages in the final calculations and it is roughly 90 dollars more than the HCL.
Is this likely a payroll error or normal on a paycheck? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
