Claim:
A computer-implemented method for payroll notification, comprising: obtaining, by a computer processor, a payroll rule comprising a message and a condition, wherein the condition requires a first gross pay, a first net pay, a second gross pay, and a second net pay; obtaining the first gross pay and the first net pay of a previously issued paycheck of an employee; obtaining the second gross pay and the second net pay of a current paycheck of the employee; determining, by the computer processor, that the first gross pay is equal to the second gross pay; determining, by the computer processor, that there is a non-zero difference between the first net pay and the second net pay; determining, by the computer processor, that the condition of the payroll rule is satisfied based on the first gross pay being equal to the second gross pay and further based on the non-zero difference between the first net pay and the second net pay; and outputting, in response to the condition being satisfied, the message of the payroll rule onto a paystub of the current paycheck specifying the condition and explaining the non-zero difference between the first net pay and the second net pay.
