The rules
Pay stub requirements in Wisconsin
Wisconsin 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.
Wisconsin expects employees to be paid at least once 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 Wisconsin paycheck
Every stub carries federal income tax withholding, Social Security, and Medicare, plus Wisconsin state income tax. Beyond that, anything you add yourself — health insurance, retirement contributions, garnishments — appears as its own itemized line.
