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.
