Reimbursements just start appearing on my paystubs! What does this mean? Does my employer owe me money for something?!

On the last 3 paychecks I received there were reimbursements in the amount of $2,100.00 on them! Am I supposed to be receiving this money and should I obtain an lawyer?

The best thing to do is to contact your employer's payroll department and ask what these are for. Once they tell you what they are for, then you can ask a new question about the tax consequences, if any about that.

Thank u so much for responding! I'm just trying to figure out if I'm owed or I owe but I think that I am owed and they just popped up out of no where and all in the same amount

Go ask your employer what they are and what they are for. Only your employer can tell you that.

I will do that! Again thank you! But then again I'm kinda iffy about asking my employer because I don't know if she is doing anything shady and I don't want her to try to cover her tracks so whom else could I ask?

Something is not clear.   You said the amounts were on your "paystubs."  But you didn't say if they were reflected in the check amounts, so it's a bit confusing.    Did you actually receive the extra money?  Were your paychecks higher than you expected?   Do you have any reimbursable employee expenses that you know of?

Some employers list the employer's contribution to health insurance and other employee benefits on the pay stubs.  Does it actually use the word reimbursement?

"I'm kinda iffy about asking my employer because I don't know if she is doing anything shady"  Do you have reason to believe that your employer is no on the up and up?
