Wage statement: required content + monthly PSL notice combined.
Washington requires specific content on every wage statement (paystub) under WAC 296-126-040: hours worked, rate of pay, gross wages, itemized deductions, and net pay. The monthly Paid Sick Leave notice (PSL accrued, used, balance) typically sits on the same wage statement, satisfying both requirements simultaneously. Missing required fields can trigger L&I administrative complaint and civil penalty. Most modern payroll systems handle the basic content; the PSL notice integration is where things commonly go wrong.
Wage Statement Configuration
Generates wage statements with all required Washington content fields. Combines PSL accrual notice with each statement. Surfaces missing-field exposure for compliance review.
What those rules do as wage statements generate.
The hero card configuration: Flag on field verification, Critical on incomplete statement.
Each wage statement is validated for: hours worked, rate of pay (including different rates for different work), gross wages, itemized deductions (with reason for each), net pay, PSL accrued/used/balance. Missing fields surface as Flag indicators.
If a payroll run would produce statements missing required fields, the run is blocked at the close step. Payroll cannot complete without compliant statements.

Five required fields plus PSL notice = 6 minimums.
Washington's wage statement law is moderate — fewer requirements than California or New York, more than most states.
Five required content fields
WAC 296-126-040 requires: (1) rate of pay (including different rates if multiple), (2) hours worked (regular and overtime separately), (3) gross wages earned in the period, (4) itemized deductions with reason for each, (5) net wages paid. The statement can be paper or electronic. Most modern payroll systems satisfy these baseline fields.
Monthly PSL notice integration
RCW 49.46.210(d) requires each worker to receive a monthly notice showing PSL accrued since last notice, PSL used since last notice, and current available balance. Most employers integrate this into the wage statement (since both happen at payday). Failure to provide the monthly PSL notice can trigger L&I action separate from wage-statement violations.
Teambridge generates compliant statements at every payday.
Wage statement compliance is moderate technical complexity — but combined with the monthly PSL notice and the multi-rate breakdown, errors compound quickly.
All required fields populated.
Each payroll run generates a wage statement for each worker with all 5 required fields plus the PSL accrual notice. Multi-rate breakdowns appear automatically when applicable.
Pre-distribution check.
Before statements distribute, Teambridge verifies field completeness. Missing fields surface as Flag indicators; blocking-level missing fields halt the workflow.
Self-service portal.
Workers access statements through the app; print is available. Historical statements retain for 7 years (longer than statutory 3-year retention) for audit and worker access.
Statement records exportable.
On L&I audit request, statements export with metadata showing generation, distribution, and worker access. Defensible documentation chain.
