The rules

Pay stub requirements in New Jersey

New Jersey 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.

New Jersey expects employees to be paid at least 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.

Deductions

What comes out of a New Jersey paycheck

Every stub carries federal income tax withholding, Social Security, and Medicare, plus New Jersey state income tax. New Jersey also has its own employee-paid payroll deductions: New Jersey Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI), New Jersey Family Leave Insurance (FLI) and New Jersey unemployment and workforce development contributions. Anything you add yourself — health insurance, retirement contributions, garnishments — appears as its own itemized line.
