<prompt> Human: I recently started a salaried position32k on the 3rd of this month I get paid every 15th and 31st30th Im not sure how salary pay works, so maybe that needs to be explained to me,but my first check seems to not add up. The gross pay for my first check was 1,250. If you do the math it only adds up to 30k gross pay. I guess my question would be is my salary being shorted or is it because I started mid pay period, or maybe because I started in the 5th month of this year ?Edit:had to change a few things 1250 gross pay for 86.67 hours aslo because we have so few employees, my employer chose to reimburse us on our personal insurance, so its not deducted. No 401k until I make a year.  <response>: Without knowing more details we can only guess. Did you have taxes taken out? Benefits? Did you have a full pay period? 401k account?
