Sometimes the wages at the very end of the year (last week or two) get slopped into the next year.....depending on their accounting procedures. (but $$ amounts would have to seem reasonable of a week or 2 of pay)
Sometimes there are certain other funds that get paid out in the next year. I received some $$ a full year and a half after I left the job, due to some incentive pay that only was issued that much later. And the next Feb...got a W-2 for it.
