What is an ADP Pay Stub?
An ADP pay stub is a document produced by the payroll processing company ADP, which details an employee's earnings for a specific pay period. It includes information such as the employee's gross pay, taxes withheld, deductions, and net pay. Employers who use ADP for their payroll services provide these pay stubs to their employees as a record of their earnings and deductions.

Why is it important to keep my ADP pay stubs?
Keeping your ADP pay stubs is important for several reasons:
-
They serve as proof of income, which is necessary for loans, mortgages, or rental agreements.

They help you understand and verify your deductions, taxes, and net pay, ensuring your payroll is processed correctly.

They are crucial for filing your tax return, as they provide the necessary income and tax information.
How often will I receive my ADP pay stub?
The frequency at which you receive your ADP pay stub depends on your employer's payroll schedule. Common payroll schedules include weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly. You should receive a pay stub each time you are paid, corresponding to the chosen payroll schedule.
Can I access my ADP pay stubs from previous years?
Yes, in most cases. Many employers using ADP allow access to several years of historical pay stubs through the same ADP employee access account where current pay stubs are found. The available history might vary by employer, so if you cannot find what you're looking for, contact your HR or payroll department for help.
