New York pay stub requirements
Under NY Labor Law §195(3), employers must give employees a wage statement with each payment of wages.
What §195(3) requires on every New York wage statement
New York's Wage Theft Prevention Act (codified in §195) requires employers to provide an itemized wage statement with every payment of wages, in addition to a hire-time wage notice. The statement must include the dates of the work covered, the employee's name, the employer's name/address/phone, the rate(s) of pay, gross wages, deductions, allowances, and net wages — plus the regular hourly rate, overtime rate, and hours worked for non-exempt employees.
Non-compliance carries statutory damages (up to $250 per workday for missing wage statements, capped) plus attorneys' fees under §198.
