ok i uploaded pdf of december 2017 pay stub and january 2018 pay stub that i think will be helpful in your opinions of getting to the bottom of this. they switched payroll software at the end of the year is why the stub look different, and i wonder if this switch could have caused the problem. the stubs show exact breakdown of medicare, social security and federal tax, and you can see the dramatic difference in federal tax despite the similarity in gross income. your help and advice is greatly appreciated. the comptroller and general manager were the ones i talked to yesterday as the HR/Payroll lady was out of the office. the comptroller and general manager are the ones who told me tax is higher at the beginning of the year and goes down as the year goes on. I plan to talk to the HR lady Monday.
