How to Find Pay Stub Errors
Review your pay stub carefully before completing your order. Check the employee and employer information, hours worked, earnings, gross pay, deductions, taxes, net pay, pay period, payday, and YTD totals.
When possible, compare the information with previous pay stubs, time records, payroll records, or other supporting documents. This can help identify paycheck errors before they become a larger problem.
