example of a pay slip : do users - think something it should be periodically checked according to a system? How frequently should this be done?

Mr
its worth I try share/upload information's about things such as checking payslip - for example - is there a set way to do it."


Do other persons in real life: have system doing things checking payslip or do they leave it and just presume its alright?"

"example of a pay slip : do users - think something it should be periodically checked according to a system as a way of positive self representation?
How frequently should this be done?"

I review my payslip every week as I use Quicken software to manage my finances so I print off my payslip from my HR system and enter the details into Quicken. If there is something off, I will notice. It also keeps me aware of all of my deductions and occasionally allows me to reconsider whether my deductions need to be adjusted.

I try to adhere to Dave Ramsey‘s steps for managing my financial life. One of his big tenets is to create a budget and tell every dollar where it will go rather than wondering where it went. I draw a lot of parallels between Dave Ramsey and David Allen as their systems have provided me with great tools for managing two very important parts of my life.

Quicken (https://www.quicken.com/) is a personal financial management software that you can use to aggregate all of your banking and investment accounts to track spending and income.

Dave Ramsey (https://www.ramseysolutions.com/) no relation to Gordon Ramsey the chef, hosts a radio show/podcast that gives financial advice.
 
Yes, check your payslip. It only takes seconds and mistakes are easier to correct if reported quickly.

It is more important at the start of a new job, if the hours and pay are variable or if there are expenses or overtime.
 
How often do I check my pay slip? Every time...

As others say, it only takes a moment.
Also, it's never on any list in my world, as I always receive an email notification when it's available. It takes me less than two minutes, so I do it immediately.

it takes maybe a minute for myself to log in to type of "e - pay" which gives PDF slip infromation

I just looked at two example last ones I got

- I mean - by scrolling with 2 mins - yeah I am able to see basic info

but the way that it is presented - sort of confusing?

I had idea I could upload example PDFs with my Personal details censored

the main thing im just interested in with my company - is checking the holiday pay - cos erm " says voice

To make sure everything is OK. In Norway we have a big responsibility when it comes to checking the slip; if I get paid too much I have to pay it back. If this is the case, I wouldn't let this go on for months...
 
You say that the information is laid out in a confusing way. Check it anyway. Every time. You'll soon become used to the way it is laid out.

Right - well you probably have completely different type job to myself in Norway.

where I just have a cleaner job at retail store , in UK - so probably big difference. I have never been paid too much.
I have looked at the pay slip a certain amount times in the past, but never something as frequently as every week, wouldn't make sense."

Right I could try that if I feel like it helps.

but basically the specific thing I am referencing here is stuff like over time
Like for example if at my job I'm told - suppose to work until X amount of time say 11am (morning shift) - if I am "clocked in" X amount minutes say 5 - 10 for example , we get paid "over time" in addition to normal contracted hours

And its shown on the pay slip "very exactly" - calculated to the exact minute or second

So average minimum wage in the UK is (for persons 23) is about ten pounds per hour and ...

Basically - there's a table PDF with multiple pieces of data (entries multiple ones, lots)
and the table does the maths automatically - so presume its right ,at the total, that's what everyone does "

Or I had further ideas

No, please don't post your payslip. I don't ever recommend doing that. It contains sensitive information that should not be made public online.
 
'I I could try to upload an example what I meant, but unable know if you would be able open this file format so could upload a pdf instead?

It looks like a pretty standard pay slip.

I would check the following:
* The basic and overtime hours are correct
* The gross amount is correct.
* The year to date is correct.
* The tax is correct.
* The money paid into your bank matches the net.
* There is nothing surprising (like a deduction you weren't expecting).

Most of this can be done at a glance, and the rest with a couple of sums on a calculator.

Oh right - I haven't really been doing this much? how many times is recommended to do this (I mean I remember doing this a certain amount of time (looking if my type of bank first direct type transactions incoming matches exactly the pay slip number - and I don't think I have ever had anytime that it hasn't (but I wouldn't be able say how many times I have actually done this - IDK maybe a average of once every three months?
