When I was in my late teens, working for a very nice man, I got into a political discussion with him. He told me I should never talk to people about their politics, religion or how to raise kids.

“What is a pay stub?” It’s one of the most useful documents you can have. Whether you’re an employer or employee, making pay stubs is crucial because you can use them for several things. They help when it comes to getting a loan and they can help you monitor your finances. If you want a pay stub example, think of a piece of paper that shows how much you’ve made and spent on taxes.
