[MI] Payroll email from a long previous employer

Compensation & Payroll

Just received an email from the payroll company used by a McDonald’s I worked at almost 6 years ago (Paymasters inc). The email stated that my email address had been recently updated and to contact HR/ Payroll administration if I was not aware of this change. I worked there for about a month after my freshman year of college, got maybe 2-3 paychecks and had no issues when I quit.

I have no idea why my email address would be being updated, nor do I know what it would be being updated to. As far as I knew I wouldn’t have had any access to my payroll account with them for all this time. Do I need to do anything about this? I don’t even live in MI anymore, but I used that in the title as that is where I was living and working at the time I was working there.
