Ongoing Web, iOS, Android Updated November 13, 2026Based on 2 user reportsHow we research

Quick answer

Paystubs and W-2s only appear after your employer runs and approves payroll and publishes tax forms. If they are missing, check the date, the right company profile and your browser, then ask your payroll admin.

Most likely fix: Check the pay date

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Check the pay date

    1. Open Pay and look at upcoming pay dates.
    2. Paystubs usually appear on or just before the pay date.

  2. 2. Check Documents

  3. 3. Reload cleanly

  4. 4. Ask the payroll admin
