Top 5 ways to annoy your Payroll Department

5. Repeatedly ask us about your W-4 as you fill it out; even after we have explained that we are not able to tell you how to complete the form. And “NO” taxes are not optional.

4. Throw out all paperwork (paystubs, W2’s, 401k, Benefits, etc.) without looking at it and then get pissed at your Payroll department when they cannot reproduce your documentation on the spot. Oh, and foul language will help to make your case (sarcasm intended).

3. Tell us your entire sob story, while making the attempt to make Payroll feel guilty for the situation you put yourself in.

2. When you see a closed sign on the Payroll door. Ignore it and walk in anyway. If it’s locked, make sure to pound on the door repeatedly until someone answers.

And the #1 way to annoy your Payroll department is:
Do not consult Payroll when implementing system enhancements. I’m sure this won’t effect pay checks (again with the sarcasm, sorry).
