Illinois Employers Required to Provide Check Stubs

(Undated) — Employers in Illinois will be required to provide pay stubs to employees each pay period starting January 1st. According to Illinois Department of Labor Director, Jane Flanagan, this law gives employees greater transparency about their earnings, allowing workers to verify their hours, income, and deductions. The pay stubs must include information on hours worked, pay rates, overtime pay, and deductions from wages. Employers must keep a copy of an employee’s pay stub for three years from the date of payment, whether or not that person remains employed at the business. An employee or former employee may request copies of their paystubs at least twice in 12 months.
