can someone tell me if i'm being scammed?

this is my last 3 paychecks, over 3 weeks (i don't know why they split up the overtime ones)[image deleted]the only reason i can think as to why the last 4 are less than they should be would be drive time, as i am paid 12.00/ hour for driving, 6 hours there and back (12 hours total), and they include driving hours with normal work hours and overtime (so if i work 30 hours and drive 12 hours, i work 40 hours with 2 hours of overtime), but the first one still says 15.50 even though i also drove 12 hours, sorry if this is confusing...

Before yippy read all my bs, dispersing should explain it for you. I haven't figured it out yet but maybe they're applying you O.T. on your driving hours because it's a lesser rate. I worked for a company that sent us all over the country to remodel FedEx-Kinko,7 eleven, and several others and they put our per diem, travel time and extra10% per hour out of town pay rate on the side , then added everything like they were different days. They didn't pay overtime which was a lot, since were costing motel and plus the premium rate. We weren't there to sightsee. Eventually a disgruntled supervisor til the labor board.

@kentex35 so are saying they dispersed the 12.00/ hour from driving into the 15.50, making it 14.70?

@QueenElsa I was thinking it looks like your job pays different amounts every week.
Overtime at one rate(15.50) is $23.25. Overtime on your driving rate ($12.00) would be 18.00. maybe they added those two rates and just printed an average per hour one week - to the next, you have more driving o.t. some weeks more on site o.t. therefore your printed rate fluctuates depending what you're doing more of that week. The average works out the same. Instead of two different columns one for driving one for the other. It's a program I bet that companies can choose from many different accounting techniques to suit them.. that's what I've figured make sense? I love a good puzzle thank you. But I'm not confident I'm exactly right or just not articulating what I mean correctly. I'm long winded

Your complaining about a steady rate rise? 🤔

Oh I see. A quick ph call to Human Resources should fix that up 👌

QueenElsa · 22-25

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout its the other way around, the 15.50 was my first check, so its steady rate lower

QueenElsa · 22-25

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout my HR is the same person who writes the checks

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

It might not be sinister.. just an oversight.. you got the right to ask 👌😎@QueenElsa

Have HR explain how your rate is calculated.
