What the earnings statement records

An Employer Statement Of Earnings records an employee’s compensation information for a defined employment or pay period. The employer enters identifying details, wages or salary, deductions, and the responsible representative’s certification, then provides the completed statement to the employee or another authorized recipient. The exact fields depend on the employer’s template and purpose; this document is not automatically an IRS Form W-2, Form 1099, or Form I-9. With signNow, the employer uploads the statement, reviews detected fields, assigns signers, captures signatures, and retains the signed PDF with its Audit Trail.

Employers

Employers and payroll teams use the statement to document salary, wages, deductions, pay periods, and certifications for an employee’s records. signNow supports field assignment, electronic signatures, and Audit Trail retention, but the employer remains responsible for accurate payroll information and any required disclosures.

Employees

Employees review the earnings information attributed to them and sign an acknowledgment when the employer’s process requires it. They may complete the assigned fields through signNow’s web or mobile workflow, then receive or access the completed record according to the employer’s delivery policy.

Businesses that use earnings statements

Employer Statement Of Earnings workflows fit organizations that must document compensation information, collect acknowledgments, and preserve signed payroll records.

A small employer or independent business can prepare recurring statements for employees, assign the owner’s certification, and retain signed PDFs without routing paper documents between offices.
A payroll or human resources department can use templates and role-based sending to collect employee acknowledgments, preserve wage details, and answer individual record requests from one controlled workflow.
A multi-location enterprise can connect statement preparation with Microsoft 365, NetSuite, or other systems, then apply centralized permissions and Audit Trail export across distributed payroll operations.

Organizations using managed devices should permit signNow access, email delivery, and secure document downloads. Teams integrating payroll records can use supported signNow integrations such as Microsoft 365, NetSuite, Google Drive, Box, or the API available with qualifying deployment options.

Retain earnings records carefully

Use a documented retention policy that protects payroll evidence, preserves the audit trail, and limits access to personal earnings information.

Retain payroll records for three years

Keep the signed Employer Statement Of Earnings with payroll records for 3 years under the Fair Labor Standards Act recordkeeping rule, 29 CFR §516.5. If state law or a specific employment dispute requires longer preservation, apply the longer documented period and record the reason.

Export the audit trail with each record

Export the completed document and its signNow Audit Trail after every fully signed statement. Preserve signer actions, timestamps, authentication details, and the certificate of completion together so the employer can explain who signed and when.

Archive records with restricted access

Store the statement and audit export in a restricted, encrypted repository with controlled downloads. Separate access for payroll administrators, managers, and employees, and review permissions when a person changes roles or leaves the organization.

Preserve the original signed PDF

Use a consistent file name containing the employee identifier, pay period, and completion date. Keep the original signed PDF unchanged, document any corrected replacement, and never overwrite an executed statement with an editable draft.

Employer statement troubleshooting

Resolve field, signer, consent, and retention questions before distributing a completed Employer Statement Of Earnings.

Upload the Employer Statement Of Earnings as a PDF or supported document, then inspect signNow’s detected fields. Add missing wage, deduction, date, and signature fields manually before sending the document for completion.

Use signNow’s field assignment controls to give every signature, date, and acknowledgment field to the correct employer representative or employee. A sender can correct assignments before delivery without changing the underlying earnings amounts.

The Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, mobile apps, and Audit Trails at $8/user/month with annual billing. Paid plans include 100 signature invites per user each year; overage fees may apply.

For consumer-facing electronic records, obtain consent under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), including paper-record disclosure and electronic-access procedures. signNow’s audit evidence does not replace the employer’s consent process or payroll obligations.

ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures for qualifying U.S. transactions. The employer must still ensure accurate earnings data, signer intent, attribution, and reproducible record retention.

Export the completed PDF and signNow Audit Trail together after all assigned parties finish. Preserve the package under the employer’s payroll policy; FLSA records generally require three years under 29 CFR §516.5.
