Pay Stub 

A pay stub is a document an employee receives either on or before his or her pay day that summarizes their payroll earnings for a specific pay period.

This document shows:

• Gross salary (before deductions)

• Net pay (the actual take-home amount)

• Hourly or salary rate

• Number of hours worked in the pay period

• All employee deductions

• Plus any other applicable deductions (ie. taxable benefits, room and board)

• Holiday pay (statutory pay)

• Vacation pay (either each pay period or accrued)

It is mandatory that an employee receive a pay stub (or statement) each pay period either in writing or electronically.
