Why is my W2 Box 1/Box 16 income $1k/$16k HIGHER than final paystub YTD gross pay?

I changed jobs halfway through 2022 and retained a copy of my final paystub which shows my YTD gross pay as $60,765.

When I received my W2, I was expecting to see the same or a lower number due to deductions, but it shows my Box 1 income as $61,276 and Box 16 State income as $63,176 (California).

This job was a boring salary position - no bonuses, tips or other unusual compensation that could contribute to the difference. It would make sense if the W2 was $60 higher because I received a gift card that is included in taxable compensation. In past years at same job, my Box 1 and Box 16 income were different from each other, but CA only a few hundred dollars higher.

Is there a plausible explanation for this, or is it likely my old employer messed up?
