A pay stub is a ledger recording any amount an employer has paid an employee, what and how much is taken out of a paycheck for taxes, and any other deductions such as retirement plans or health insurance. Paystubs will show the current pay-period amounts and also display the year-to-date total. Pay stubs are used by employees as records of income or and/proof of employment when needed. A paystub template can be accessed on a website such as RockStub and then printed out for a variety of uses.
