The Fair Labor Standards Act FLSA does require that employers keep accurate records of hours worked and wages paid to employees. However, the FLSA does not require an employer to provide employees pay stubs. That having been said, some states do require that an employer give its employees paystubs and these stubs must include certain information.
To find out what is mandated regarding this in your jurisdiction, you can contact your state's department of labor for further information.
