A payroll check, the one you are going to print, should have splits for
Gross, all deductions, and Net.
If you have other stuff on there, I think you are combing too much into
one transaction.
Were you including a screenshot there? If so, it did not come through.
You can't paste it inline, it has to be an attachment. Please resend.
Regards,
Adrien
