Does anyone know how to take off the automatic donations to the United Way on their paycheck? I was donating every year $1 a week, but I noticed a $11 a week decline in my check and can no longer afford it. Usually they approach you each year to ask how much you would like to donate, but this year it was automatic.
I don't donate to United Way for several reasons and won't until they're addressed. If you really want to help YOUR community you should buy the grocery bags Kroger makes for like "Super Bowl of Caring". I'm going to buy one of the $5 "Protein Pack" that we offer to help the needy.
William Aramony, CEO of the national organization for over 20 years, retired in 1992 amid allegations of fraud and financial mismanagement, for which he was subsequently convicted and sentenced to prison.[9] Ralph Dickerson Jr., a former CEO of United Way of New York City, was found to have used United Way funds for personal expenses during 2002 and 2003. He later reimbursed the money.[10] Oral Suer, CEO of the Washington, D.C. chapter, was convicted of misuse of donations in 2004.[11][12] Norman O. Taylor, Oral Suer's replacement, was never charged with misconduct but was forced to resign.[13]

"United Way of Central Carolinas CEO Gloria Pace King, whose $1.2 million salary and benefits are highest among 31 United Way organizations around the nation, has been told by the group's board to resign or be fired." http://drjimbeaty.wordpress.com/2010/08/13/flash-united-way-kickoff-campaign-be-sure-to-give-at-the-office/

I asked the store associate manager about it, and she said she would check into it. There was also one other employee that wanted to do this. Otherwise, I would have to wait until the next "signup" period. Thanks for the advice.
I just gave her my EUID number and she talked to the payroll person for me. I just got my paycheck for this week and noticed that the donation was not deducted, so it worked. :)
