Using Paystub.biz legally

Making a paystub, W-2 or 1099 is legal when it records pay that was actually made. Small employers, contractors and self-employed people use these documents to keep records, give workers a pay statement, or replace a lost one.

It is illegal to create a document that shows income you didn't receive, or to change real figures, and then use it to deceive a lender, landlord, employer, court or government agency. Depending on where you are, that can be fraud or forgery.

• Use real names, real dates and real amounts.
• Don't use another company's name or logo unless you are authorised to.
• If an amount is wrong, fix it and download a new document; don't hand over one you know is wrong.

That's why every builder asks you to confirm you won't use the site for illegal purposes. See our Terms of Use for the full rules.
