-
The payroll officer was emailed from an aol.com address, not the company email domain.
-
The bank account was changed to a branch in another state, several thousand kilometres away.
-
My office was physically next to the payroll officer. Despite sitting 2 metres away, I was not contacted in-person at any stage.
-
At least two staff members oversaw this.
-
They just wrote off the money and paid me for the month again.
This triggered a policy change. Bank account updates had to be confirmed in-person after that.
