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 got a $3000 bonus and it overfunded my 401k since I was expecting the bonus to come one pay period after.
