Are employers in North Carolina required to give employees a pay stub when you are paid? I have worked for someone for several years and have never received a paystub to let me know how many hours I worked or the amount of tax being taken from my check - I don't even know if social security is being paid. When one employee ask for pay stubs for school, she was only given a handwritten piece of paper stating the amount of money she made for the year. I don't really think this is appropriate - or is it? Also, the employer pays 1/2 of your insurance, but if one certain employee is out of work sick, the employer will not pay her 1/2 of the insurance for that month and the employee must pay it all. Is that also an employers right? Please help with these questions.
Thanks

I don't think they can do that I have no idea. But I sure am curious to find out the answer to this post. I would also like to know if that is legal or not? Hope you find out soon ...:confused:

One of the legal folks will answer but my guess is YES! You are entitled! I recently matched my paystubs up with my 401 quarterly reports and found out that they did not deposit my funds to my account! They owed me close to $3,000 by the time it was over.

Insist...they are yours!

One of the payroll people can correct me if I'm wrong, but while many states require that an employee receive a record of deductions, I don't think any state mandates the form in which that record is presented.

So while yes, I'm reasonably sure NC requires that you be given a record of the deductions, I don't think it has to be a 'paystub" per se. Patty? Robb?

North Carolina requires only a "statement of itemized deductions" (which includes taxes, btw). But no state requires a pay "stub", per se. It could be on a napkin. ;)

If you are not getting this information, file a complaint with the state Dept. of Labor.

Are you supposed to ask for a statement of itemized deductions in order to get them or should you be getting them periodically during the year because we only know our deductions when we see them on our w2's? Also, is there a site on line that lists nc labor laws or a phone number in nc to call that can answer several questions about employers? There is just many things our employer is doing that I don't think is on the up and up. Thanks a lot.

According to NCDOL, you should receive an itemized statement each time you are paid. As Pattymd correctly mentioned, the statement should itemize all deductions (including taxes).

Honestly this should be a no-brainer for your employer. Providing this information to you should not be a difficult request. Your employer (hopefully) is remitting its tax payments timely. In order to make these tax deposits correctly, your employer would have to know all the information that typically appears on pay stubs.
