The rules
Pay stub requirements in New York
New York 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 York expects employees to be paid weekly for manual workers; at least twice a month for clerical and other workers, 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.
New York City and Yonkers levy their own resident income taxes, withheld as separate lines alongside state tax. Where one applies, it is withheld separately from state tax and should appear as its own line on the stub.
