How to Create a Payroll Check Stub Online

If you run a very small business, you probably cannot afford payroll software or simply do not need it, particularly if you are the sole employee. Having a payroll check stub can come in handy when proof of your income is requested or for record-keeping purposes. If you need to create a payroll check stub, you can do so online.
