How to Get Pay Stubs from McDonald’s in 2025: Easy Steps

Log In to McDonald’s Employee Portal (McHire or Franchise Portal)

Most McDonald’s employees get pay stubs through McHire or the specific franchise’s employee portal. Begin by opening your web browser or the app and navigating to the McHire login page (or your store’s portal). Use your Employee ID, password, or other credentials. If you don’t have login details, contact HR or your manager. After logging in, locate the menu or section labeled “Pay,” “Paychecks,” or “Pay Stubs”.

If you’re unsure how a proper pay stub should look, see standard layouts in our Regular Pay Stub guide. And if you want to test a pay stub template yourself, generate a sample pay stub now to compare.

Select the Correct Pay Period

Once you're in the pay or payroll section, you’ll usually see a list of past pay periods. Select the period for which you need your pay stub. Sometimes the portal displays “Recent Paychecks” or “Payment History”. Be sure you choose the exact date range (week, two weeks, or month) that matches your working period for accuracy.

View, Download, or Print Your Pay Stub

After selecting a pay period, click “View” or “Details” to see the breakdown of hours, overtime (if applicable), deductions, and net pay. Most portals will have a “Download as PDF” option or a “Print” icon. Use that to save a copy on your device or print a hard copy. Always keep backups—especially if you need a stub for proof of income or tax filing.

If You’re a Former or Inactive Employee

If you no longer work with McDonald’s and can’t access the portal, your options may include using “Forgot Password” or contacting Human Resources or Payroll office in your franchise. You may need to verify identity (employee ID, SSN, or dates) to get access to past pay stubs or have them sent to you.

Check Stub Details for Accuracy

After you have your stub, check that it includes all necessary information: your name, employee number, pay period start & end dates, hours worked, gross pay, deductions, taxes, and net pay. If something looks off—missing hours, incorrect deductions—report it to payroll or HR.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

  • If you can’t log in, try resetting your password or retrieving your employee ID with HR.
  • If pay stubs don’t appear in your portal, confirm that your employment status is active and that your store uses the portal system.
  • If PDF downloads fail, try from a different device or browser.
  • If some deductions or hours are incorrect, gather your timesheet or clock-in records to support your claim when contacting payroll.

Use Pay Stubs for Proof and Planning

Pay stubs are useful not just for seeing what you earned, but for planning your budget, applying for loans, housing, or even for tax purposes. When submitting to landlords or lenders, having a clearly labeled, accurate stub helps. To be sure your stub meets expected standards, see the Regular Pay Stub guide and compare with one you generate a sample pay stub now.

Conclusion

Getting your pay stub from McDonald’s in 2025 is usually as simple as logging into McHire or your store’s portal, selecting the pay period, and downloading or printing the stub. Keep your credentials safe, verify details on the stub, and don't hesitate to reach out to HR if something is wrong. Having accurate pay stubs helps you stay organized, compliant, and ready for anything.
