On a paystub, head of household requirements would typically relate to your tax filing status. To be classified as a head of household according to the IRS, you must be unmarried or considered unmarried at the end of the year, pay more than half of the cost of keeping up a home for the year, and have a qualifying dependent live with you for more than half the year (except for temporary absences). Your paystub may not directly reflect this status, but taxes withheld and any associated benefits may be impacted by your fulfillment or lack of fulfillment of these requirements. Do consult with your payroll or HR department for more clarity on this subject.
