How to Make an ADP Pay Stub

Pay stubs are used to document an employee's year-to-date earnings and help report accurately to taxing authorities. As an employer, you must supply your employees with a pay stub.



ADP (Automated Data Processing) is a large payroll provider. A pay stub can be generated using ADP, Paychex, Quickbooks or even on your own through a common data processor like Excel. The larger your payroll needs are, the more inclined you may be to use a payroll provider. If payroll is only needed for a few employees, you may choose to save money and produce payroll yourself.
