Why do some benefit amounts appear twice on the paystub?

Question

Why are there duplicate benefits on my paycheck?

Answer

In some cases, benefit amounts (e.g., for medical or dental) may appear twice on an employee's pay stub. This is expected behavior when both employee and employer contributions are being tracked in 7shifts Payroll. Each benefit will appear in two separate lines:

• one line for the employee contribution
• one line for the employer contribution

For example:

If the monthly cost of a dental plan is $200, and it's split equally between the employee and employer, each contributes $100. On a biweekly pay schedule, both contributions would display as $50 per pay period. You’ll see these as two separate rows for Dental on the paystub.

This setup ensures the full benefit amount is recorded and aligns with the values entered in 7shifts Payroll, or synced from an integrated benefit provider.
