Paid salary via unknown company

[Z-11]

Hi,
I just check my statement and notice that this month I got paid from unknown company. The amount is correct but I am wondering why my employer would opt for something like this. Do I need to be concern? Is this legal?
Many thanks

Re: Paid salary via unknown company

Have you checked this " unknown" company out?
Is it part of the same group of companies?
Has your employer out sourced its payroll department?

Thank you for prompt reply.
I found this new company to be partner company. Shouldn't I be notified or asked of such actions or this is standard/normal procedure for big corp?
Now I am not sure anymore who am I working for.
"Has your employer out sourced its payroll department?" - I need to dig little bit for this.

Thank you

Re: Paid salary via unknown company

When you say partner company, do you mean its a company under the same group of companies?

Right now all I can tell you is I found it on my company webpage under "Our partners". It stupulates few different companies with very limited info.

Sounds like outsourcing to me.
Contact your employers HR department.
