Sun:8 hrs
Mon:11.5 hrs
Tue:11.5 hrs
Wed:8 hrs
Thu:8 hrs
Total:46 hrs
What first got my attention about this was that I worked 12.5 hours on Monday and 13 on Tuesday, but then I noticed the total.
Our payroll department definitely needs to take a remedial arithmetic course.

Gotta see the stub. The WHOLE stub.
Some hours are paid more than others. And do you use a time sheet, or card, or what? If they’ve deliberately shorted you hours, that’s a monster HR no-no. Document everything, and I mean EVERYTHING… when you punch in (if on a clock) then write down the time; do NOT rely on their reckoning.
