Have you ever looked at your paycheck and just felt like something was wrong — but didn't know who could actually help? Not the company that wrote it. Not a lawyer, for something that isn't a legal case.That's exactly where I come in. I offer the clarity you need, from someone who actually understands payroll — and who's on your side while doing it.
No vendor deals, no employer contracts, no conflict of interest. Just an honest look at your paycheck, from someone who actually knows payroll.
What I Do
☑️I review your paycheck — Gross pay, deductions, tax withholding, hours worked, checked line by line against what you're actually owed.
✔️ I find what's off — Miscalculated overtime, wrong withholding, missing hours, benefit deductions that don't match your elections, caught before they cost you more.
☑️You get a plain-language answer — What's right, what's wrong, and what to do next. No jargon. No sales pitch. Just the truth about your paycheck.

Why Check your Check?
No vendor relationships
I don't get commissions if your company switches payroll providers, and I have no financial stake in your employer's payroll company. My only job is making sure your numbers are right.
25+ years of experience
I've worked at the director level in national PEO and payroll operations. I know where the problems hide because I've fixed them — repeatedly.
Plain English only
No payroll jargon. No tax code references. I'll tell you exactly what's happening with your paycheck in language that makes sense.
CPP Certified
Certified Payroll Professional. I stay up to date with all current payroll and employment related taxes as part of continuing education to maintain my certification.
I actually answer the phone
Your employer's payroll department or payroll vendor has a support queue. I have a phone number. You can call it.
Who I work With
💼 Hourly & tipped workers
Variable pay, overtime, shift differentials — the math is complicated, and small errors are easy to miss. I'll check that yours adds up.
🆕 First jobs & new hires
Your first real paycheck comes with a lot of unfamiliar numbers. I'll help you understand what you're looking at and confirm nothing's off from the start.
📋 Anyone who just has a feeling
You don't need proof something's wrong to ask. If a number looks strange, that's reason enough to check.

About Check Your Check & Karen
I know where payroll problems hide, because I've fixed them. Repeatedly.
I'm Karen Ehrenberg, a Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) with over 25 years of experience in payroll operations and employment tax compliance. I've worked at the director level inside national PEO organizations, processing and reviewing payroll for thousands of employees across every kind of workplace; small businesses, nonprofits, agricultural employers, you name it.I started CheckYourCheck because I kept seeing the same thing: workers trusted their paycheck was right, because why wouldn't they? But the person calculating it works for the company, not for them. When something's actually wrong a missed overtime calculation, a withholding error, hours that don't add up — most people have no idea who to call. Not the company that wrote the check. Not a lawyer, for something that isn't a legal case.So that's what I am. An independent set of eyes, working for you.I have no employer relationships and no stake in what any company's payroll system says. My only job is telling you, plainly, whether your paycheck is right — and if it's not, what that means and what you can do next.All services are delivered remotely. I work with individuals across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and nationally.
