Yes. California Labor Code § 226 requires employers to provide accurate, itemized wage statements each pay period.
A compliant pay stub must include:
- Gross wages earned
- Total hours worked (for non-exempt employees)
- All applicable hourly rates
- Piece-rate information, if applicable
- Deductions
- Net wages
- Pay period dates
- Employee name and identifying number
- Employer’s legal name and address
Failure to provide compliant wage statements can result in statutory penalties, civil claims, and derivative PAGA exposure.
