Our compensation philosophy is built around equity, transparency, and rewarding performance. Whether you are behind the wheel, on the warehouse floor, or in the office, you deserve to know exactly how you are being paid, when you will be paid, and where to go when you have questions.

Understanding Your Pay Stub
Your pay stub contains important information beyond just your net pay. Understanding each section helps you verify accuracy, track your benefits deductions, and plan your finances. If anything on your pay stub looks incorrect, contact HR within the same pay period — retroactive corrections can be complex.
Gross Pay
Your total earnings before any deductions — including base pay, overtime, bonuses, and any additional compensation for the pay period.
Federal & State Tax Withholding
Amount withheld for federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%). Based on your W-4 elections.
Pre-Tax Deductions
401(k) contributions, health insurance premiums, HSA/FSA elections, and dental/vision premiums — all taken before taxes are calculated, reducing your taxable income.
Post-Tax Deductions
Any after-tax deductions such as voluntary life insurance, Roth 401(k) contributions, or wage garnishments that are applied after taxes.
Net Pay
Your take-home pay — gross earnings minus all deductions and withholdings. This is the amount deposited to your account on payday.
YTD Totals
Year-to-date totals for gross pay, each deduction category, and net pay — useful for tax planning, loan applications, and verifying accuracy over time.
Merit & Bonus Compensation
Joyner's compensation program rewards performance, tenure, and contribution. Here is how variable pay works across the organization.
Annual Merit Increases
Performance-based merit increases are administered each December following the annual performance review cycle. Increase amounts are determined by your performance rating and position within your pay band. All increases are communicated in writing by your manager.
Performance Bonuses
Eligible associates in qualifying roles may receive a performance bonus based on individual and company-level goal achievement. Bonus eligibility, targets, and payout timing are communicated during the annual performance planning process.
Referral Bonuses
Associates who refer a candidate who is successfully hired and remains with Joyner for 90 days are eligible for a referral bonus. Contact HR for current referral bonus amounts by role category.
Driver Incentive Pay
Driver associates are eligible for additional incentive pay based on safety milestones, on-time delivery performance, and fuel efficiency. Incentive structures vary by fleet type and are communicated through Operations.
HR & Payroll Support
Have a payroll question? Our HR & Payroll team responds to all tickets within one business day. For urgent pay issues, call directly during business hours.
✓Missing or incorrect pay — report within the same pay period
✓Direct deposit setup, changes, or banking issues
✓W-2, 1099, or year-end tax document requests
✓Pay stub discrepancies or deduction questions
✓Overtime calculation reviews or timecard corrections
✓Wage garnishment or court-ordered withholding questions
Understanding Your Pay Stub
Your paycheck reflects more than hours worked or your salary. Every pay stub contains gross earnings, deductions, employer contributions, and net pay. Understanding each line item helps you catch errors, plan your finances, and maximize your benefits elections.
Gross Pay
What You Earned
Total wages before taxes or deductions — includes base pay, overtime, shift differentials, and bonuses
Deductions
Pre & Post Tax
Federal/state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, 401(k), HSA/FSA, health premiums, and voluntary deductions
Net Pay
What You Take Home
Gross pay minus all deductions — the amount deposited into your account on payday
YTD
Year-to-Date
Running totals since January 1 — important for tax planning and tracking 401(k) contribution limits
Pay Corrections & Disputes
If you believe your pay is incorrect — missing hours, wrong rate, deduction errors — act promptly. Payroll corrections have processing windows and delays in reporting can complicate resolution.
1
Review Your Pay Stub First
Confirm hours, rate, and deductions. Sometimes what looks like an error is a benefit deduction, tax adjustment, or scheduled change.
2
Notify Your Manager Same Day
Your manager can verify whether your timecard was submitted correctly and flag an off-cycle correction if needed.
3
Submit a Payroll Support Ticket
Contact HR at hr@myjoyner.com with your employee ID, pay period affected, the error, and correct amount owed.
4
Off-Cycle Corrections
Confirmed payroll errors are corrected via off-cycle payment or adjusted on the next paycheck. HR confirms the timeline within two business days.
Important: Pay disputes must be reported within 60 days of the affected pay date. Disputes reported after 60 days may not be eligible for retroactive correction.
Tax Documents & W-2
Joyner provides all required tax documents electronically by IRS deadlines. Here is what you need to know about your annual tax forms.
W-2 — Wage & Tax Statement
Available electronically by January 31 each year. Shows total wages, federal/state tax withheld, Social Security, Medicare, and YTD benefit deductions.
W-4 — Withholding Elections
Update federal withholding at any time by submitting a new W-4 to HR. Life events like marriage or a new child often require a W-4 update to avoid under- or over-withholding.
1099 — Contractors & Agents
Independent agents who received $600+ from Joyner receive Form 1099-NEC by January 31. Contact HR if you have not received yours by February 1.
W-2 Corrections
If your W-2 contains an error, contact HR immediately. A corrected W-2c will be issued within 30 days of the confirmed error report.
