Report flags / pay stub
NUMBERS“Medicare is more than 1.45% of gross pay”
What this flag on a pay stub means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
Medicare is above 1.45% of gross pay while year-to-date wages are under $200,000.
Why it matters
The extra 0.9% applies only above $200,000 a year.
Ordinary explanations
- A catch-up correction for an earlier pay period.
What to check
Ask the employer to confirm the gross pay and taxes 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.
