Maryland Pay Stub Requirement Update
Effective October 1, 2024, Maryland will require employers to provide additional information on pay statements. Currently, when a new employee is offered a position, employers must provide the rate of pay being offered, payday information, and leave benefits. Under Senate Bill 38, employers will be required to also provide its name as registered with the state, address, and telephone number. This information must be on the physical paystub or online pay statement as well as the following information:
The employer’s legal name registered with the state;
Address;
Telephone number;
The date of payment;
The beginning and ending dates of the pay period that the payment covers;
The number of hours worked in the pay period for non-exempt employees;
Rates of pay; and
Gross and net pay
The Maryland Department of Labor will enforce these requirements and issue penalties to those not in compliance. Employers that fail to comply may be subject to an administrative penalty of up to $500 per affected employee. Employers should review and update their onboarding procedures to include the information required by the Act, ensuring compliance by the October 1, 2024 deadline.
