What are my options other than collecting a tiny paycheck?

Do I have any recourse when my employer offers to fix their problem that I found by taking my money?

My wife and I recently switched to a health/vision/dental plan offered by my employer instead of her employer, which has been active since September 1. But I noticed that the deductions didn't come out of the first paycheck that should have had deductions.

I guess I shouldn't have waited. I assumed it would work itself out, but it didn't. After the second paycheck was the usual size instead of the reduced size, I let my employer know. They thanked me for catching the error and said they'd fix it by taking double deductions out of this Friday's and next Friday's paychecks. Thanks, I guess?

This is my introduction to the health plan offered by my company, and I'm not happy about it. I understand that all the numbers need to get sorted out, but I feel like I'm being penalized for my employer's error.
