[nabs-l] Paycheck question

[Ashley Bramlett]

Alexa,
I suggest using someone sighted you trust. I'd first calculate my paycheck 
amount by multiplying number of hours times the wage. For instance, 15 hours 
times 8 dollars an hour.
So 15 times 8.
This equals 120. So this is 120 dollars without taxes taken out. If you are 
good at math, compute the taxes too. To do this, find out the percent of tax 
rate and multiply that by your full pay amount.
For instance lets say 20 percent was taxed. That is .2 as a decimal. So the 
equation is .2 times 120.
That equals 24. Then subtract the taxes amount from the total pay.

This gives you an idea of what your  check should be. Then you will get your 
check in the mail or hr will hand it to you. BTW, I've had both happen in 
summer jobs. If mailed, ask someone at home. As a college student, hopefully 
you have good relationships with family. Ask them to be a reader for you. If 
its handed to you at work, it should be in a sealed envelope.
Ask the hr representative to tell you the amount. But, sometimes, employers 
do automatic deposit. in that case, check your balance via phone. You will 
get a list of deposits there.

If you work the same amount of hours weekly, you should be able to easily 
calculate your monthly income before your checks arrive; I do this for 
planning purposes when I've worked.
Simply take your weekly salary and times by four, since four weeks per 
month.
If you don't work the same amount, you can still add it up, but you will 
need to add it week by week. You can do this in excel or via a calculator.

Hello everyone,
    I am starting college in August, and I am planning on having a job. For 
any of you who had jobs during college, how did you know what your paycheck 
was? Did someone read it to you? Please help if you can.
