Do employers have to issue pay stubs to comply with recordkeeping standards?
Minimum wage, overtime and recordkeeping are three of the most common Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) violations. Employers who fail to keep accurate accounts of employee attendance may even be paying workers correctly, but this doesn't mean they don't have to comply with federal standards.
If businesses are uncertain about what's required, they can consult the FLSA or hire experts to learn about the best payroll practices. One common question employers ask is whether or not they have to issue workers pay stubs, according to the Department of Labor.
Recordkeeping standards outline all of the documents businesses must keep, such as payroll records, collective bargaining agreements and employee information. The FLSA does not, however, require businesses to issue pay stubs, but they must still maintain detailed records of employees' wages and total hours worked every week.
If employers are using a payroll processing system, they might find that it's easy to print off weekly reports that tally up time and attendance. Keeping employees informed of the wages they are earning each pay period may help them identify any problems and avoid a dispute later on.
