Well I definately wasn't trying to make it seem like the deductions weren't legit.
Just that errors do happen and it is hard to know if something is an error or not if you don't know what it is for. Most of the "unexplained" deductions are usually very small. Which just serves to make it less worth the time to investigate.
In case anyone is interested. My DS tracks everything in a spreadsheet, so he has the information pretty handy. At the end of May of his 2 dig year, this is what he has earned and what has been deducted. Sorry, I can't figure out how to make it format all purdy.
