Can I provide my employees with their pay stubs electronically?
HRCalifornia
Yes. Employers may provide electronic pay stubs, subject to certain conditions.
California Labor Code Section 226(a) requires wage statements to be in writing, but a Labor Commissioner opinion letter permits electronic delivery with limitations.
Under Labor Commissioner Opinion Letter 2006.07.06, employers may issue electronic wage statements if:
- Employees can opt to receive paper statements;
- Statements include all information required by Section 226(a);
- Employees can easily access and print statements at no cost;
