CROSS-CHECK“Pay dates don't follow the pay schedule”
What this flag on a set of documents means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
The time between the stubs' pay dates doesn't fit the pay frequency they show, for example biweekly stubs ten days apart.
Why it matters
Payroll runs on a fixed schedule. Dates typed by hand often don't land on it.
Ordinary explanations
- A payday moved for a holiday or weekend.
- An off-cycle or bonus check.
What to check
Ask the employer to confirm the pay schedule and pay dates. Use the phone number on the employer's official website, not the one printed on the stub.
A flag is a reason to verify with the source, not proof. Apply the same steps to every applicant.
