First, is this gross pay in box 1 or box 16 of your W-2? In some states, the box 16 amount is larger than the box 1 amount because some deductions don't count in that state. What state are you in?
Second, have you asked your payroll department? We could spend days guessing why your employer might have done this, but just asking your employer would save you and us a lot of time.
