He signed both and cashed them without looking at them. We were friends. When I went to them to say I didn't get my check as I didn't know yet what happened...they thought we concocted the whole thing so I could get ANOTHER check. ummmm, hello?....not that stupid???? just roll some HR heads. when i was in college and working at a golf resort in the kitchen…HR gave my check to the person who was alphabetically after me in the same envelope as their check.

I know a lot of jobs you have to wait 30 days for benefits, and in certain cases, 401(k) and FSA can't be contributed to until January 1 of the following year. Also, maybe in some cases (it's like this at my job), just because you sign up for some benefit, it takes a month for the money to actually be taken out of your pay! It's like that for my E-Trac transportation - sure I can sign up for it in May, but the money won't be taken out until June - which means I really can't use the card until July! So for at least two months, I have to pay $300+ for two months of train passes out of my own pocket! Ugh! Also I think they just upped the price of a monthly pass.....ughhhhhhhhhh! <strong>That's too bad. My bennies are effective day 1. [-SM]</strong> Are all those things granted to you at day one?

Steph <strong>Oh dear, I wish it were that simple. I may have money in different accounts (which are off limits), but I'm still strapped for cash flow.
