my pay differs each week based on the # of pts i see and if its an admission a recertification or a regular visit so i really have no idea - toss in staff meetings and / or inservices at a diff pay rate and i never really know what my check will be
i will have to wait until the 15th and see how dhs check looks when he gets it he is paid bimonthly on the 15th and 30th.
Mine only went up about $4. I only had a partial check this week due to taking time off, but it figures to about that. I'll have to check the fed vs last year
I haven't received a paycheck in 2011 yet due to the way our pay schedule falls. I'll let you know next week. :0)
HR did send a memo out stating that most employees should see a slightly higher check but the employees (police/firefighters) that don't pay into SSI due to their pensions may see a decrease in the their paycheck.
SSI went down but federal went up about half the amount that the SSI went down. Next check the new benefits package will go into effect, so I think overall his check will be less in 2011.
The Federal tax went up because of the expiration of the Making Work Pay credit. That credit was effective for 2009 and 2010 and the withholding tables were adjusted so you would get the money back each check instead of waiting until tax time.
So, as soon as something goes down, something else goes back up and makes it a wash!
i am the only one who gets a paycheck in my household so of course we are POOR... so maybe i will see a little difference in my paychecks...its funny how just a few dollars makes a difference....

I hope you do see a difference! With the little bit extra in Dh's paycheck I am using it to go towards the stockpile. Not much but every bit helps. I would rather pay todays prices than the price a few months from now, whatever that will be. Unless prices were to go down! Not likely.
It went up by 70.00.... don't ask...sigh.... I figured it out they had only put a few dollars to the Fed withholding. Somehow when they reduced it to 4.2 from 6.2% HR must have put their percentage figure in wrong. Great next check should be interesting...LOL When I called them they had said a few others had noticed the error and called as well.
Remember the SSI break is only for 2011. So next year it will go back up. Remember your Federal Tax is different depending on what you claim for dependents and married or single on your W-4.
We have a local tax that we pay 1 time one the first paycheck of each year. So I lost $75 for that this pay.
I get my first 2011 check Monday and I am fortunate enough to see a 10% salary increase, starting with this check. I doubt I will be able to figure it all out and will just hope for the best.
I get paid my first check next week. I hope to have more money. (who wouldn't) lol.
I just hope I can save more this year. Regardless of what they do about the taxes, it won't help us with the rising cost of gas. If they lower that to 99 cents a gallon, I could really stimulate the economy by spending more elsewhere.
I really did not notice a change in my check. But, I'm in the next to homeless (lol) tax bracket till I get out of grad school and get a better job this spring, so we're pretty used to living poor....
Mine went up by about $10 for a two week pay period. Dh hasn't had a full 40 hour week yet, so if I remember by next Friday, I'll post his change then.
