How to do it

An original activity to try, adapt or skip for your circumstances; outcomes are not guaranteed.

  1. Compare the payslip, pay period and available compensation agreement.
  2. Check the deposited amount and mark unclear or differing entries.
  3. Ask payroll for an itemized explanation and keep the response privately.
  4. Recheck the explanation or corrected record against received pay and deductions; leave the item pending while amounts do not match supporting records.
