Final settlement checklist

A clear checklist for reviewing your full and final settlement before you assume the payroll math is correct.

Start with your expected items

Before reading the final statement, write down the payout items you think should appear. That makes it easier to spot what is missing rather than trying to decode the statement from scratch.

Settlement review checklist

  • pending salary days
  • leave payout
  • approved reimbursements
  • bonus or incentive due
  • notice adjustment
  • deduction list
  • payment date

Compare the statement with your own records

Settlement errors are easier to challenge when you can point to leave balance records, salary slips, and written approvals. A simple comparison table often helps more than long email threads.
