Thanks very much for the help on this. I did not know it depended on when a check was issued rather than when the funds were earned. Lesson learned.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me with this. My company farms out the payroll to a very large payroll company. Our last pay period of 2022 went from 12/19/2022 to 1/1/2023. 1/1/23 was a holiday and since it fell on a Sunday, was celebrated the following Monday and went on the next paycheck (no one worked that day at all). Which means all earnings on that final 2022 paycheck issued on 1/6/23 were earned in 2022. For some reason, this payroll company used the new year (2023) HSA deduction amounts that each employee selected in November to begin with the new year for 2023 earnings instead of the 2022 HSA deduction amounts for each employee. (This is the amount each employee contributed to their HSA account each paycheck) I cannot get them to correct this or show me any proof that they are allowed to withhold 2023 HSA deduction amounts on 2022 earnings So I guess my question is- Is it legal to use the following years HSA deduction amount on the previous years earnings if that previous years check is distributed in the following year, but contains no following year earnings? I hope that makes sense and thanks again.
