Your payslip is a legal document — every line should add up.

What risks are detected

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.
