Traditionally, employees receive a paycheck from an employer in payment of services rendered with a paycheck stub showing the details of payment and given to the employee for his records. The stub serves as the paper document of the cheque received by the employee.
Recently, the paycheck is being replaced by electronic bank deposits with employers now directly withdrawing their salaries from a chosen bank. The employees still receive their payslip or paycheck stubs, and if there is an attached paycheck it is a facsimile and cannot be exchanged for cash.
