How Do I Recover Employee Pay Stubs From a Previous Employer?

Maybe you’re planning on moving into a new apartment, or you’re looking to get a loan for that sweet new car you saw on the lot. Or maybe you’re just really OCD and need to have your entire life in order. Whatever the case may be, you need to have your employee pay stubs from your former employee so you can make moves.

The problem is that you seem to be a bit short on the total you should have. Without having all of your stubs in order, you run the risk of not getting approved for any goods or services you’re looking into getting – and that’s something you simply cannot afford. That said, your former employer is your former one for a reason; the last thing you probably feel like doing is going back to the place you left.

So, how exactly do you go about getting the stubs that you need? Luckily, you don’t have to freak out. This article will show you what you can do to get back the pay stubs you’re missing. Read on to find out more!

 

Get an Employer Signed Letter

Perhaps one of the easiest ways to get the information you need is to get your former employer to sign a letter listing your year-to-date earnings. While it may not be the most comfortable thing in the world for you to do, your employer will have all of your information on file and can access it at any time, so reaching out to them is the smarter and quicker approach.

 

Call Human Resources for Your Stubs

You can also try to contact the human resources office at your old place of work and ask them to give you the information you need. They can scrounge up old payroll documents, but it will take them longer than an employee letter (usually around two weeks). Make sure you have your identification, such as your dates of employment, your social security, and your former employee I.D. to proceed with processing.

 

Create Your Own Stubs

Don’t feel like going back to your former employee? If you have enough information, you can probably just make the pay stubs yourself.

A majority of us still work at jobs that offer a fixed wage. If that’s the case, you can trace back the hours that you worked and multiply them by the wage you had at your former job to get the gross total amount you had per pay period. After you add up the numbers, you can put them in the system using to fill in the stub blanks.
