NY Payroll Company Vanishes With $35 Million

This communique came after employees at companies that depend on MyPayrollHR to receive direct deposits of their bi-weekly payroll payments discovered their bank accounts were instead debited for the amounts they would normally expect to accrue in a given pay period.

To make matters worse, many of those employees found their accounts had been dinged for two payroll periods — a month’s worth of wages —leaving their bank accounts dangerously in the red.

The remainder of this post is a deep-dive into what we know so far about what transpired, and how such an occurrence might be prevented in the future for other payroll processing firms.

    I don't understand your reply to my comment. You said "that's nuts"- do you mean you don't agree with what I wrote? Because I wrote the exact same thing. If you don't understand what I wrote, then you're the same AC who keeps misunderstanding me.

    I said I use a debit card, and I don't have the same protection as a credit card. Right?

    Which is why I keep very little in the debit card-attached account, so that if it gets stolen, it's not much money- not a big loss.

    Could you explain how my statement differs?
