This may not help much, but for my company, even though we just had open enrollment, any changes made would start January 1, not now, and I thought that was true for most companies.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
True for mine, too. sarameg, that's a big increase; could it be something nice like a bonus?

I was just called at home about a work issue. On a Sunday! Management, being in it, sucks!
Issue was resolved with a quick phonecall still it's unprecedented!

Yeah, I'm especially hinky because there were some shenanigans that really fucked up some employees benefits this year. And even if I dropped my retirement contributions completely, it wouldn't be $435. Hopefully will be able to access it at some point this week.
eta: my boss would have told me if it was a bonus. And those are rare and usually done with much fanfare. I did get 2 awards, but as far as I'm aware, they have no monetary value.

Sara, have you had any raises lately? That happened to me once and there had a raise due in October that wasn't processed until January, so it was a lump sum of backpay.

Yikes, sarameg! That would be worrying.

Raises happen in the summer only. I'm just frustrated not knowing.

I should start packing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am so bad, I do not pay enough attention to know my paycheck balance exact amount.

And while I'm here...I met my goal of 150 laps in 3 days: 162! Makes a little over 4.6 miles.
