⚠️

Risks that can be hidden in this document

Unauthorised deductions

Employers cannot deduct money for equipment damage, cash shortages, or training costs in many states.

Overtime miscalculation

Non-exempt employees are legally entitled to 1.5× for hours over 40 — common errors cost workers thousands.

Incorrect tax withholding

Under-withholding creates a surprise tax bill; over-withholding is an interest-free loan to the government.

Benefit deduction errors

Deductions continuing after benefit cancellation, or wrong tier deducted for health plan elections.

What you gain after scanning

Catch calculation errors before tax season
Identify unauthorized or excessive deductions
Ensure overtime is paid correctly
Reconcile benefits deductions with your elections
