Hi Everyone!

I have a client who has her W2, and it states FLSA wages 288.29, but I am reviewing her last check stub, and her overtime for the year 2025 is 4,227.72. Any recommendations on how to treat the difference, or just follow the W2?

Sometimes employers have a lot of different codes on a paystub. If you are positive that the $4,227.72 is really overtime and not some other paid benefit, go with the paystub. Employers aren't required to put the information on a W-2 this year so there won't be any matching system in place.

If they happen to be in a state, like CA, that pays OT for anything over 8 hours a day (not qualified FLSA), rather than 40hrs a week (which is FLSA qualified), you may be seeing the qualified amount on the W2, and the total of all on the paystub.

But as previously mentioned, no matching this year, its kind of a free for all, but dont be surprised if next year the amount of qualified OT is much less than the stub.
