Let us get this straight. The OP contacted a higher-up to inform him that there were discrepancies regarding payroll, and his response is to teach her how to perform a certain calculating function incorrectly? Correct us if we’re wrong. This sounds way too wild to be true.
If you’re being audited or put on the spot, don’t feed the auditor ammunition to shoot you with.

Now, we’re only receiving the amount we deserve!
