Some of the items on your pay stub:
Period End: this is the day that sick leave is counted through. When the stub states 09/07/2013 for the "Date" of 09/20/2013 it means that sick and personal leave are for days absent up to 09/07/2013.
Use Sick Bal and Use Per Lv Bal: 7.5/302.4 The first number is how many days you used up during the 2 week period ending on the Period End date. The second number is your remaining balance as of the period date. Remember to divide by 7.5 hours to convert into days.

There are other deductions for garnishments, deferred compensation, and all sorts of other things. The main thing is that if there is no * by it, then you are paying for it. Let me know if you have other items on your stub so I can add it to this list.
