Missouri paystub law

What Missouri law actually requires on a paystub.

Wage statement requirements

Missouri Revised Statute § 290.080 requires every corporation, association, or company doing business in Missouri to provide each employee with a written statement showing the amount and deductions for each pay period. The Missouri Division of Labor Standards enforces wage-payment violations. Paydays must be at least semi-monthly for most workers. Both Kansas City (Missouri side) and St. Louis levy 1% local earnings taxes that appear as separate lines on most stubs for employees who work in those cities.

Using a Missouri paystub for proof of income

Kansas City and St. Louis rental markets follow mainstream 3× rent verification. Aerospace employees at Boeing's St. Louis defense operations produce standardized stubs. Anheuser-Busch employees in St. Louis (the brewing industry hub) and Boeing employees both produce highly recognizable institutional paystubs. The KC and St. Louis local earnings taxes are a unique wrinkle — out-of-state landlords sometimes flag them as unusual, but Missouri property managers are accustomed to seeing them.
