North Carolina paystub law

What North Carolina law actually requires on a paystub.

Wage statement requirements

North Carolina General Statute § 95-25.13 (Wage and Hour Act) requires employers to provide a written statement of itemized deductions to each employee with each wage payment. The N.C. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Bureau enforces violations. Paydays must be at least monthly; most employers run bi-weekly or semi-monthly. North Carolina has a flat state income tax (currently 4.5%, transitioning lower under recent legislation) that appears on most stubs.

Using a North Carolina paystub for proof of income

Charlotte's rental market follows mainstream 3× rent verification. Banking employees at Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Truist HQ produce institutional paystubs that all Charlotte landlords recognize. The Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) has a tight market driven by tech and biotech employers — biotech firms (Biogen, GSK, Pfizer) at the RTP produce standardized stubs. Textile workers in the Piedmont follow mainstream patterns; many older textile-anchor towns are slowly transitioning to mixed manufacturing.
