Report flags / pay stub
NUMBERS“Earnings lines don't add up to gross pay”
What this flag on a pay stub means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
The earnings lines (regular, overtime, bonus and so on) don't add up to the gross pay on the stub.
Why it matters
Gross pay is the sum of the earnings lines. Raising the gross or one line without the others leaves them out of step.
Ordinary explanations
- An earnings line cut off or unreadable in the copy you received.
What to check
Ask the employer to confirm the gross pay for this paycheck. 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.
