The rules
Pay stub requirements in Maryland
Maryland requires employers to give employees a written or electronic statement of earnings for each pay period, itemizing gross pay, every deduction taken, and the net amount. The format is left to the employer, so a clearly itemized PDF satisfies the requirement as readily as a printed slip.
Maryland expects employees to be paid at least every two weeks or twice a month, so the pay period shown on the stub should match that cadence. When someone leaves, final wages are due next regular payday — which is why a final stub often has to be produced at short notice.
Every Maryland county and Baltimore City levies a local income tax, collected together with state withholding. Where one applies, it is withheld separately from state tax and should appear as its own line on the stub.
Deductions
What comes out of a Maryland paycheck
Every stub carries federal income tax withholding, Social Security, and Medicare, plus Maryland state income tax. Beyond that, anything you add yourself — health insurance, retirement contributions, garnishments — appears as its own itemized line.
