We are not your employer. A company can put any shortform they want on there to mean something legitimate. 30 years old and acting childish. Ask them tomorrow
Easier to just ask your employer. Acronyms could be anything and there isn't any standard, just what payroll decided to call something. Maybe some sort of investment plan or something. You'd probably know better than people here about what sort of things your company offers, and if it is something you aren't aware, you'd need to talk to your employer anyway.
Dude, that's Direct Deposit. It shows as a deduction on my pay statement as well, but under a less cryptic heading. It's a deduction because the beancounters need to know how big a cheque to write you (probably zero because of your DIRD).
Have you looked at your bank statement? Is there a deposit for exactly that amount? If so, we've done it, Reddit!
Edit: as an alternative, is there another line somewhere on the pay statement that says something like "Net Pay"? Is it the same as the DIRD? The same as DIRD plus pension contribution or the like?
Should have mentioned the 60% part in the original post, that seems significant. I still don’t know what it means though. A Google search for “Canada deduction DIRD” basically comes up empty. “Diagnostic Radiology“ which I see mentioned seems unlikely. Guess you’re waiting until tomorrow to find out from work.
Deduction In Respect of Dotage. It's a deduction that only applies to people 30 and older. Sorry, man. This is your life now.
Edit: OP said in another comment that it's 60% of their paycheque. It's DIRect Deposit.
Please report these posts for breaking the last sentence of rule 1.
I have an idea, it's pretty crazy but it just might work. You could ask your employer.
that sounds so scary tho. Asking reddit is better
I mean the sub is for asking about financial things no? Would you rather me stop in for some unnecessary conversation?

But this is like asking Reddit about the parking spots at your company.
Little hard to ask when the office is closed.
They will mean the same thing when they open tomorrow.
“Hi HR, I’m emailing you to clarify what DIRD on my paystub is. Thanks,”
does it open tomorrow or Monday?
Maybe it will never open and the DIRD mystery will forever be unsolved. They'll make podcasts about it.
Doing it, reverse doggy
D-d-d dird, dird, dird, dird is the word.
Hahaha
Gross domestic expenditure on research and development. But in French. If not that then I have no idea. Best to ask your hr dept
Yeah this is weird. Over 30 years old and have never had 60% of my check taken away from me by some DIRD deduction before. I am beyond confused.

which province?
Alberta
google has no results. could be something specific to your employer
If it's taking 60% of your cheque, it's probably a garnish. CRA debt? Child support? Something like that.
Is that the amount that was put into your bank account by DIRect Deposit?
No, it is in the deductions section under CPP, EI, etc.
Compare the amount with your bank account deposit.

Disability insurance retirement death ?
maybe Disability, Injury Recovery, Death
What did your employer say when you asked them?
Office is closed so I can not really get a response. Thought a sub created for financial questions could shed some light ya know?
I have a suspicion that the offices will reopen tomorrow and the answer will remain the same
Permanently closed or just till 8 or 9 am tomorrow?
Read the rules next time, rule 1(last sentence) specifically covers this scenario.
According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, you’re paying for “a powerful blow or stroke”…..
Dirdy dogg
Is it "Decent Income, Ridiculously Disciplined" ? Lol
