A paycheck stub or a payslip is a written document
A paycheck stub or a payslip is a written document received by an employee which shows the amount of pay he received for the period, showing the gross amount less deductions. When the wages are deposited by the employer to a bank account, the pay advice serves as a notice that the transaction has been completed and the employee has been paid for the services rendered covering the period as stated in the paycheck stub.
The deductions reflected in the paycheck stub can be pension or retirement plan contributions, garnishments, insurance premiums or charitable contributions.
