Can someone explain retro pay to me?
My last check had my normal hours and pay of 8 an hour, but then also a 2nd set of hours where I only made 4 and hour called retro pay, I already googled it and it talked about a change of pay rate but I haven't gotten a raise since september, so why would i make retro pay for the pay period between 4/21/14 and 5/4/14?
So like the money on the check before wasn't enough is what you're saying? as in the pay period for 4/6/14 to 4/20/14, so they made up for it by adding it to the next one?

Retro is what they should have paid you previously but did not. I'm guessing that since your retro pay is half of your normal pay per hour that you worked some overtime which should have been time and a half but they didn't pay the half before, now they are paying it.

They didn't pay you enough for that time period so they have to make it up by paying you more now until the money they owe you is paid off.
They may owe it to you from some change in the tax laws or health insurance or something like that.
Yep.

You may have gotten a raise they didn't tell you about or perhaps a government contract called for a higher rate while working on it. Retro pay shouldn't have hours just an amount like a bonus since they already reported the hours.
