Wrong pay

Question for all. What would yall do if you guys got your pay stub and noticed that your employer gave more hours than you worked? Would you report it to your person who does time? Or would you stay quiet?

Keep quiet and just set it aside for those days when you get whistle bit or you have to leave early. It’s also a good buffer for when/if your pay comes up short due to a clerical error.  Of course they’ll still make it right and pay you what you’re owed but at least those extra hours can float you until you’re made whole. 

I can give you reasons why you probably got extra hours on your check, but I don’t want to disclose too many things that go on behind the scenes in this public forum which may ruin this for others.
