maybe he went one up on the tax bracket, that can screw up.

thats impossible. unless when you worked there on your tax info you filled it out so the chunk of your check goes there so thta at the end of the year you can get more back, evne then, not 100% of it should go to taxes.
i think either your boss is fucking you or you just can't read.

actually it is possible if it's less than 30%. which is what the gov't takes from you.

canada is fucked with that.
lucky i dont pay income tax woo!

Actually it is IMpossible even with tax brackets and National Healthcare, as they take a percentage, and regardless you would still recieve some extra cash.

heh that happened to me once.
sucks when the small raise you finally receive makes no difference in the actual amount in your bank account.

what happend was,
i moved up on the tax bracket. thats how i lost out.
i still get maybe 10% of the raise.
yay!

It effectively can happen depending on your tax bracket.
first $35,595 first 16%
over $35,595 up to $71,190 22%
over $71,190 up to $115,739 26%
over $115,739 29%so if you make 34,500 after tax you make 28,980
so just say you get a raise to 37,000 after tax you make 28,860
Now this is a pretty low raise but it kinda could happen.
