Summary       

 As an employee, you have completed a 5 day work week. You researched your job title and job description to learn the rate of your hourly wage. You filled out a W4 Form that the employer needs in order to process your paycheck. You identified deductions and parts of a paycheck.  You calculated net pay. With your co-workers, you calculated gross and net pay and completed a payroll ledger.  These activities are tasks that are done in the real working world.  Employees work for specific wages and should be paid the correct amount. You are now ready to apply these skills to your first real job!

The Future

Compare your first real paycheck using the formulas that you learned for balancing the ledger.  Check your gross pay, deductions and net pay calculations on every paycheck.  Welcome to the world of employment!
