Access/Print

The states below require employers to provide a written or printed statement that details an employee’s pay information. These states do not require that the pay statement be delivered with the check or in some other specific medium. A reasonable interpretation of the laws suggests an employer can comply with the pay stub requirements in these states by furnishing an electronic pay stub that employees can print. An employer must insure that employees have access to the electronic pay stubs and the capability of printing the electronic statements.

Most state agencies have endorsed this interpretation. The opinions of some state agencies, however, vary. In those cases, state agencies have offered an interpretation that might include additional requirements – like an employee’s consent to receive the pay stub electronically.
