How to Read a Pay Cheque/Pay Stub 

A pay cheque is a physical cheque given to an employee by the employer. It's made out to the employee for the amount to be paid and can be deposited in the bank by the employee.

A pay stub summarizes all the amounts within the pay cheque. Employees paid by direct deposit receive an electronic pay stub. 82% of workers now use an online portal to access pay stubs.
