Los Angeles Employment Lawyer Blog

Under the California Labor Code, your employer is required to include certain information on your pay stub. This information is not elective --- your employer must include it on each and every one of your pay checks or you might have a claim against your employer.

Here are the 9 items of information your employer must include on your paycheck:

• gross wages earned


• total hours you worked (unless properly exempt from overtime)


• the number of piece-rate units earned and any applicable piece rate if you are paid on a piece-rate basis


• all deductions


• net wages earned


• the inclusive dates of the period for which you are paid


• Your name and the last four digits of your social security number or employee identification number – not the entire social security number


• the name and address of your employer's legal entity


• all applicable hourly rates in effect during the pay period and the corresponding number of hours worked at each hourly rate

If you are a CA employee and any one of these is not listed on your pay check, call the legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP.
