EY vendor mistakenly reverses U.S. employees' payroll

U.S. employees at accounting firm Ernst & Young Global had their payroll deposits mistakenly reversed last week due to a vendor error, BNN Bloomberg has confirmed.

As a result, EY vowed to promptly restore payments to its U.S. workers and cover any charges associated with the payment reversal, the company told BNN Bloomberg in a statement.

“We are urgently working with [payroll vendor Automatic Data Processing Inc.] to correct the error,” wrote Suzanne Bouhia, Americas chief communications officer for EY, in an email to BNN Bloomberg. “Late fees, penalties or other charges they may have incurred as a result of this error will be covered.”

Payrolls for U.S. employees was supposed to be originally deposited on July 15, but according to Allyce Hackmann, ADP’s vice-president of public relations, the vendor “experienced an error” which caused the payrolls to mistakenly reverse.
