Paycheck Stub Review

Pay stubs, also called “wage statements,” are a common target of wage and hour lawsuits. If they are deficient, the proof is directly on the face of the documents. Using pay stubs, the plaintiffs suing in a class or representative action could subject your company to steep penalties.

Pay Stub Requirements

Under Section 226.2, nine items must be on every pay stub:

  • Gross Wages Earned During the Pay Period

  • Total Hours Worked During the Pay Period

  • Number of Piece-Rate Units Earned and Piece-Rates, If Any

  • All Deductions from Wages

  • Net Wages Earned During the Pay Period

  • Inclusive Dates of the Pay Period (Start and End Dates)

  • Employee’s Name and Last Four of SSN, or Employment ID Number

  • Full Name and Address of Legal Entity of Employer

  • All Applicable Hourly Rates During the Pay Period and Amounts Paid at Each Hourly Rate
