<prompt> Human: Im 16 and Ive recently gotten a decent job at a local supermarket. It pays exactly 9 a hour and Ive worked for a total of 19 hours, which should total to 171 without taxes; Instead my bank account holds a measly 59.65. I live in Pennsylvania and Ive tried researching taxes for minors but was only left with information about tax returns and other information that isnt of use for my problem. Just curious if the state of PA really shreds into your paycheck with taxes or if the company didnt pay me the correct amount, Ive worked quite a bit there and Im young so I dont want to be taken advantage of by a medium sized company. Thank you for your time :EDIT: Im paid every thursday today and I started my first day last friday  <response>: I would say the most likely possibility is that you started working there in the middle of a pay period which are set by the company, not tailored to individual hire dates, which means they only paid you for the hours you worked during that two-week period. Check your pay stub and look at the hours worked line, and also the pay period dates listed; itll probably line up so that you were only paid for 9-10 hours total, and I bet the dates are such that you were hiredstarted working right in the middle of the two-week pay period. So your next paycheck will be fatter, but this one is probably correct even accounting for taxes, which will also be listed on your pay stub, so you can check those yourself. :
