The rules
Pay stub requirements in Michigan
Michigan 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.
Michigan expects employees to be paid depends on the schedule chosen, but at least monthly, 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.
Detroit, Grand Rapids and around twenty other Michigan cities levy a city income tax. Where one applies, it is withheld separately from state tax and should appear as its own line on the stub.
