How can you be sure it’s actually a mistake?
If the amount shown seems inconsistent, go back through your emails or sent documents to see if there’s a mistake on your expense report. Check with an amendment issued by your HR department to see if it’san error in your paycheck. If there’s an error in your withholding rate, go to the tax agency’s website to verify the rate shown on your tax notices or in your current profile.
How do I report it?
Report it to your company’s HR department, even if it’s an error in your favor, because any overpayment must always be reimbursed to the employer; otherwise, you could face penalties. The employer will be required to correct the error on the next pay stub. If it’s an overpayment, the employer must withhold a portion of your salary each month, up to 10% of your net pay. If you received less than expected, the difference will be made up next month.
