Do you check your pay

I've had a few different jobs over the years and in most of them my pay has varied from month to month for various reasons.

I always check my pay is correct and sometimes it can be very complicated to work out. Only one out of my last four employers has got my pay correct every month I have worked there. Obviously if your pay is the same every month this isn't such a problem.

The vast majority of my colleagues over the years never check their pay, they just accept what it says on the payslip. Do you check you're being paid the correct amount?

[to be clear I'm talking about both the payslip and therefore the money received being wrong not just a difference between the payslip and the amount going into my account]
 
I've been looking forward to my final pay packet for months as it includes end of contract bonuses that together are worth more than a month salary.

My employer missed off one bonus completely (€535) and only paid me half of another (got €98, should have been €196). After I explained to my boss how their system works she agreed to get it sorted out.

When I said "what would have happened if I hadn't said anything" I just got a stony faced look. Totally unacceptable.
