Someone had posted that there is some issues with how taxes are taken out after the Workday rollout. Does anyone know what one should do to check for the error on their paystub. Thanks in advance

So it is a known problem but payroll is not validating or looking into??
It's not hard to manually calculate tax withholding for yourself.
First, there is a way to pull up your W-4 data. In the search box, enter W-4, don't hit enter but instead the results will populate.
Then, use this information and your paystub data to see what the correct amount to withhold is, using the 2024 edition of IRS Publication 15-T, and the equivalent state instructions if necessary.
Because of the endemic payroll errors I have seen affecting my colleagues, I ended up putting that into an Excel template. I take my information at the end of the pay period, put it into the template, and it gives me the amount to expect for net pay.
As you can probably guess, I don't trust Workday.
Mine were off by a couple hundred, I compared last years and the current. Then into workday and adjusted them to match.
Compare your deductions with last year. They should be in the ballpark if your pretax deductions, like HSA, 401(k), etc... are also similar.
In my case, they just forgot to take state taxes out. The $0 made it pretty obvious. I would just compare a few pre-workday stubs to post workday stubs on-line and make sure they are in the right ballpark.
