Under N.J.S.A. §34:11-4.6(c), every New Jersey employer must furnish each employee a statement of deductions for each pay period in which deductions are made. Since a 2019 amendment (effective May 20, 2020), employers with 10 or more employees must also include on that statement: the employee’s gross wages, net wages, rate of pay, and — if relevant to the wage calculation — the number of hours worked during the pay period. The statement may be provided electronically unless the employee requests paper.
