Where every line on a New York paystub comes from

New York employee paystubs in this app automatically show NY State Income Tax plus the applicable NYC or Yonkers local tax lines and the NY employee-paid program lines. NYC and Yonkers applicability still depends on the resident city data captured in the form. New York Disability Benefits coverage can also create an employer-side premium cost depending on the policy used.

New York paystub law

What New York law actually requires on a paystub.

Wage statement requirements

New York Labor Law § 195(3) requires every employer to provide a wage statement with each payment of wages including: dates of work covered, employee name, employer name + address + phone, rate(s) of pay, gross wages, deductions, allowances claimed (e.g., tip credit), and net wages. For non-exempt employees, the statement must also show hours worked at regular and overtime rates. New York's Wage Theft Prevention Act (NYLL § 195) requires employers to give a separate wage notice at hire and within seven days of any wage change. The N.Y. Department of Labor enforces violations; penalties for non-compliant statements are up to $250 per employee per workweek, capped at $5,000 per employee, plus attorneys' fees.

Using a New York paystub for proof of income

New York City's rental market is the country's tightest — landlords almost universally require gross income at 40× monthly rent (3.33× monthly) plus first month + security deposit + sometimes broker's fee. Many also require a guarantor at 80× monthly rent for tenants who don't meet the 40× test individually. Standard verification is 2–3 stubs + employment letter + tax return. Finance employees in Manhattan produce institutional paystubs from major banks (JPMorgan, Goldman, Citi) that all NYC property managers recognize. Healthcare workers across the five boroughs and at major hospital systems (NewYork-Presbyterian, Mount Sinai, NYU Langone) produce standardized stubs.
