I've been there forbes, and it blows. Started with a company back in September, they couldn't pay my first paycheck on time. Come October, same problem, "wah wah, financial problems, bad economy, et al." I finally got paid the 15th of October. Come November, "We're closing our doors, wah wah, financial problems, bad economy, qq." Finally got paid on December 1st, and racked up a nice chunk of overdraft fees from automatic debits I have setup for my student loans, etc.
So I was waiting around for my W-2 to arrive finally the other day, and decided that I should probably remind them and send them an email. Knowing these guys, it wouldn't surprise me if they forgot.
Then I get this email back this morning at 3:12am:
"Former XXX employee,
I know that you are probably anxiously awaiting your W2 document from XXX Company such that you can determine your tax refund status for 2008. Please be advised that these documents are prepared as a service of the payroll company we used, Intuit. The way the process is supposed to go, we receive a packet of all the W2s, verify addresses, and place all the individual envelopes back into the mail. The bundle was received late last week, however I checked the summary sheet and many of the annual totals were incorrectly prepared. I have been on the phone with Intuit as well as our bookkeeper consultant over the past few days working on the creation of accurate annual totals. At present, I expect that we'll have the correct and updated totals in the mail to you by mid-week. If you have any questions for me, please feel to reply and I'll address such questions as quickly as possible. I may also be able to email you your totals (upon request) when I have them, if you can't wait for the mail and want to begin preparing your tax return.
The reason the calculation error occurred is because our Q1 employee tax withholdings were manually deposited to the IRS, rather than automatically deducted by Intuit. Your taxes were paid in full - it's only a matter of clearing up this reporting total.
-Signed, Retard #1 from XXX Company"
