Alabama Pay Stub Requirements
No — Alabama has no state law requiring employers to hand out pay stubs.
What a complete stub still shows
- The employee's name
- The pay period dates and the pay date
- Hours worked and the rate (or rates) of pay
- Gross wages earned
- Every deduction, itemized — taxes, benefits, garnishments, each on its own line
- Net wages paid
No stub law does not mean no records: the federal Fair Labor Standards Act still requires Alabama employers to keep payroll records, and employees regularly need a stub anyway — for a loan, a rental application, or benefits. Most Alabama employers provide one as standard practice; if yours does not, you can ask, and you can also make your own record from your pay details with the free generator below.

Common questions
Are pay stubs required in Alabama?
No. Alabama is one of the states with no pay stub law, so an employer does not have to hand you one. Federal law (the FLSA) still requires the employer to keep payroll records.
Can I still get a pay stub in Alabama?
Usually, yes — most employers and payroll services issue them anyway, and you can always ask your employer for your earnings and deduction records. If you need a stub for a loan or landlord and have your pay figures, the free generator on this page makes one from them.
Can pay stubs be delivered electronically?
In most states yes, as long as the employee can actually access and print the statement.
