Workarounds Described

• Manually determining the correct W-2 amounts and explaining to the payroll service how to fix the error
• Drafting communication to the payroll service to demand proper correction

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated payroll correction tool that recalculates taxes and generates amended W-2s
• Templates for escalating payroll service errors to the right contact
