A paystub or a paycheck stub is a proof of paycheck issued to an employee. It has identifying information about the employee and their wage details.

Unlike a check or a direct deposit which contains the net salary, a paystub provides important information about gross pay and deductions made from paychecks each pay period. It serves as proof of transaction between the employee and the employer.

Certain state laws require some type of documented pay statement even though it is not mandatory by federal law. Using a free pay stub generator to create free check stubs online saves you time and money while serving your purpose.
