<prompt> Human: Shouldnt my w2 show everything that Im being paid or is there something Im not adding up correctly like pension or healthcare deductions?If it is a mistake on the companies part do I have any recourse or do I just take a loss for not paying better attention to my finances?Assistant: You should look at your last pay stub of the year and compare to your W2. Some tax deferred items may be show on your W2 in boxes 12 or 14. If you still cannot determine if you have been paid the correct gross wages, talk to someone in your HR department at work. If the company has made a mistake, then you should be entitled to back pay, but do some research first to make sure this is the case.Human: Cool thank you for the advice, I dont want to charge into the HR office over nothing but I definitely dont want to leave money on the table either.  <response>: LPT: Generally a help me understand this approach is better than charging into something guns blazing. One burns social capital, the only their builds it while resulting in better outcomes.
