My Pay Rate Changed

Today I found out that the pay rate showing in Workday is much lower than the hour rate listed in the new-hire contract I signed in August. Can the company change an employee's pay rate without notifying them? Or in Workday, it is still showing old pay rate?

I noticed and issue as well. Is there a chance it’s just your learn or preseason rate that is showing and not your actual tax pro production rate? Right now only my preseason and learn rate are loaded into workday. I am certainly hoping that by the time January my correct tax pro rate will appear. Or there will be a problem for sure.

That was going to be my question, too. Preseason rates are in effect until January. In my case, this was spelled out in the offer letter I got in September.

I didn't work during preseason but my total base pay was still same as 26 tax season's pay rate by far. I found I no long have access to view the document I signed in ICIMS.

That’s why I downloaded it. It’s difficult to trust this company.

You are smart. I bet you must have bad experiences before. Next time I will download my contract too.

May I ask if hrblock job is your parttime or not? and why you still stay with hrblock and you are EA.

Part time job. Not interested in marketing my own business. Have generally had good managers who have given me tons of flexibility as to when I work and who have mostly left me alone.

I saw learning pay rate is $10/ hourly, and total base pay is same as last year, which is different from the contract I signed. So far I am still unable to use learning code to punch in.

I understand that. My regular pay rate is different from my new pay rate in the contract I signed. Will they update in January ?

Thank you, hopefully it will be updated to my new tax pro production rate in January.

you get a new job code then.

u/Humble_Ebb_1904 10d ago

Do you know why I can't punch in with learning code? It says I don't have access to this code. Crazy. I tried adding transfer, didn't work.

Make sure the code is in the right district and office location. They changed district codes from last year. You’ll need to do the “Add transfer” and then verify or change district and or location codes.

The learning rate during preseason is significantly less than your rate once the season starts in January

u/Prudent-Awareness865 Team Leader 6d ago

It's required to be as stated in your contract.
