Common questions

Are pay stubs required in Texas?

Yes — Texas law (the Texas Payday Law (Labor Code ch. 62)) spells out what has to be on every pay stub.

What must be on a Texas pay stub?

At minimum: the employee's name; the pay period dates; total hours worked; the rate of pay; gross wages, and net wages. The free generator on this page includes fields for all of them.

Can pay stubs be delivered electronically?

In most states yes, as long as the employee can actually access and print the statement. A few states ask for the employee's agreement first, so check the note on this page.
