Am I entitled to a pay slip?
Before or at the time of each payment of wages or salary, every employee is entitled to a written and itemised pay statement.
This pay slip must state:
- The gross pay
- The net pay
- The amount of any variable or fixed deduction
- The reason for any variable or fixed deduction
- Where parts of the net pay are paid in different ways, the method of payment of each part and its amount
The pay slip can give the total amount of fixed deductions (rather than the amount of each one), provided the employer has already given you a 'standing statement of fixed deductions'. This standing statement is valid for a maximum of one year, and must give:
- The amount of each fixed deduction
- The reason for it and the interval at which the deduction will be made
