Report flags / pay stub
NUMBERS“The pay date is in the future”
What this flag on a pay stub means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
The pay date on the stub is more than a week after the day it was checked.
Why it matters
A real stub describes a paycheck that has been paid or is about to be; one dated weeks ahead describes a payment that hasn't happened.
Ordinary explanations
- A typo in the year on a stub typed up by hand.
What to check
Ask the applicant for their latest stub from the payroll portal, and confirm the pay schedule with the employer. 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.
