Is my job not paying me for time worked?

I started this job as a Store Manger in Training (SMIT) at a local coffee shop chain.

But if I were getting paid for the full 45 hours that would mean my hourly rate was approx. $22/hr, right? Because if I was getting paid $25/hr that my paystub suggests, my salary would be around $58k/yr instead of $52k, right? Also, don’t my paystubs have to accurately reflect my time worked, even if I’m a salaried employee?
