QUESTION 20 OF 34

How confident are you with reviewing pay stubs to calculate income accurately? Walk me through your calculations.

The interviewer is seeking job-specific knowledge. This question also provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate a sound process that will give the interviewer a sightline into the way you manage this and other tasks. In your answer, reflect all the best practices that ensure your work is accurate and reliable. You can also discuss how often you do the task, your comfort level, and your accuracy rate, so you're responsive to the question.

"I work with paystubs and make income calculations from them on a daily basis. I have a reliable process to ensure my calculations are accurate. When calculating an average income, I take the six-month income to determine the average gross earnings. I then total the gross earnings of all the pay stubs provided and divide the result by the number of pay stubs. The result is the average gross earnings per pay period. This is a task I am very comfortable with as I have been doing this for quite some time. I always check my calculations twice and cross-check my numbers against the paystubs to ensure 100% accuracy."
