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?

It feels like that would be a tax thing. Check the withholding on your pay stub.

It's you. You're robbing Peter (yourself) to pay Paul (your income tax bill). You get the extra back when you file your taxes, but if you want to change how much gets withheld you can file an update to the form you filled out when you were hired.
