Washington requires an itemized pay statement with every payment of wages. Under WAC 296-126-040, every employer must furnish each employee an itemized statement showing: the pay basis (hours or days worked), the rate or rates of pay, gross wages, and all deductions for that pay period. The statement is a separate written statement from the paycheck, must identify the pay period by month, day, year, and payment date, and may be provided electronically as long as each employee has access to receive and copy it on payday.
