Check your pay stubs! Employment

I feel like this should go without saying, but it always amazes me how many people I see on here who run into problems because they never check their pay stubs. I’m getting my annual bonus paid out soon and I realized the amount listed on my pay stub was wrong. The CFO had calculated the bonuses incorrectly for anyone who got a mid year raise last year.

I would’ve been shorted $500 if I hadn’t double checked the math.

I check my pay stub, every paycheck and routinely find errors. I'm also surprised that my coworkers never check theirs ever and just assume it's right.
