Employee name and address • Pay period dates and pay date • Employee ID, SSN, and pay frequency • Earnings with rate, hours, and current/YTD amounts • All deductions with current and YTD amounts • Highlighted net pay and YTD net pay

Include per diem and allowances as separate earnings line items for transparency. • If you have union dues or other post-tax deductions, add them to the deductions section. • Weekly pay stubs accumulate YTD faster, so verify your YTD totals match payroll records. • Use the bordered format when your company requires detailed pay documentation.
