My paycheck went to a different bank account. What should I do?
Reviewed answer
Contact payroll immediately and ask them to stop or recall the diverted payment.
- Call payroll or HR using a known internal number. Report the changed bank details and ask about recalling funds.
- From a trusted device, change your payroll and work-email passwords and review account recovery information.
- Ask IT to check sign-ins and email forwarding rules. Keep the payroll notice and any suspicious messages.
