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
