Native-like or not? no. 17 - two sentences (natural sentece flow)

Dear All,

I'd like to know if the following sentences sound native-like to your ear. If not, could you point out the parts that don't sound natural? If you have time, I'd be grateful for any suggestions to make the sentences sound better and more natural in terms of:
  • grammar
  • vocab
  • overall sentence smoothnes or flow
  1. I have all schedules from March and based on that I calculated all my overtime hours. The HR transfered overtime pay for only seven extra hours instead of nine I actually had.
  2. I wish to make sure whether the money I pay for the social security insurance can be given back to me once I'm ready to leave the country. That's what you told me in October 2012. Just wanna make sure it is so.


Thank you as always
