Are pay stubs required?
There is no federal law requiring pay stubs, but most states require employers to give each employee a written or electronic wage statement every pay period. Oklahoma employers should confirm the specific format and delivery rules that apply locally.
What a pay stub usually must show
Commonly required items include gross wages, hours worked, the pay rate, every deduction, net pay, the pay-period dates, and identifying information for the employer and employee. Some states also require showing accrued sick leave.
Recordkeeping
Keep payroll records for at least three years under federal law — some states require longer. Accurate time records are the foundation of an accurate, defensible pay stub.
