A pay stub is a document that accompanies a paycheck and provides information about the payment, including the amount paid, personal information of the employee and tax deductions. It is useful for record-keeping and tax purposes.
A paycheck stub is typically the part of a paycheck that an employee keeps after depositing their paycheck or receives if the paycheck was deposited via direct deposit. This stub will usually have information about the amount that was paid, the personal information of the employees used by the company, and a checking account of income for the entire year or even the entire course of employment. A pay stub will also tend to have information about various tax deductions, insurance benefits, retirement programs, and any number of other things that might affect an employee’s pay.
Paychecks are generally a form of payment made by a company or employer to an employee who works for the company or person. This often takes the form of a check for record keeping, usually to allow both the employee and the employer to accurately track the payment of wages and salaries. A pay stub is a payment document usually attached to or accompanying a paycheck to explain the payment and provide the employee with a document showing the payment for their records. Different companies may have different formats and information on a pay stub, but some aspects are generally common.
A pay stub will usually have the Social Security number or other identifier for the employee, as well as their name. This can often include an employee number for internal record keeping, and will usually also include the name and address of the company paying the person. The stub may also indicate what the pay is for, often showing the week or time period the person is paid for, and how the pay is broken down if they are paid hourly wages. Total income so far for a year or longer can also be shown on a pay stub.
Another purpose of a pay stub is to ensure that an employee is aware of any deductions made for tax purposes or benefits. Typically, they will be listed separately for each deduction, such as federal taxes, state taxes, health benefits, and retirement programs. Usually, it will show the amount deducted, as well as the total deductions over the course of a year. This can make a pay stub not only useful for providing information to an employee, but also useful as a tool for keeping clear records of tax and benefit information.
