The Pay Stub
Minn. Stat. 181.032 — an earnings statement each pay period, on paper with 24 hours' notice
In Minnesota, at the end of each pay period the employer provides each employee an earnings statement covering that period, in writing or electronically.

Paper on request. An employer providing statements electronically must give access to an employer-owned computer during working hours to review and print them for three years, and must switch to written statements on an ongoing basis after at least 24 hours' notice from the employee.
At the start of employment. A written notice covers the pay rates and basis, allowances, paid time off, exempt status, possible deductions, the pay period and paydays, and the employer's names, address and telephone number; the employee signs for it, and it is available in another language on request.
Payday frequency, final pay and deductions an employer may take are not on this page. Whether a particular statement complies is a question for the state's labor department or a licensed Minnesota attorney.
