Getting Paid: Understanding Your Pay Stub

Have you ever looked at your paycheck and wondered why the amount is so much less than you thought it would be? In our Understanding Your Pay Stub course we cover the basic information you see on your pay stub and how to read both paper and online versions. We’ll discuss the terminology used, meanings of gross and net pay, deductions and retirement account funds. We will also examine hours worked and time off, and how to read year-to-date information to ensure deductions are being taken correctly.

Part of our Getting Paid series, the Understanding Your Pay Stub course includes a video lesson, downloadable student materials and a short online quiz to check your comprehension.
