QUESTION: I guess I didn't make my question clear. Shouldn't I get the pay stubb ON PAYDAY(in Texas) or can he wait a week or so to give it to me?
Answer
Patricia:
My mistake, not yours. Here is the statute, and it says at the end of the pay period. So, by law, they must give it to you then.
Tom Ballas
Sec. 62.003. EARNINGS STATEMENT. (a) At the end of each pay period, an employer shall give each employee a written earnings statement covering the pay period.
(b) An earnings statement must be signed by the employer or the employer's agent and must show:
