Printed or electronic payslips

This is not usually an issue for employers as computerised payroll systems generally provide more information on their standard payslips than is required by law.However, a number of other issues are raised by the right to an “itemised pay statement”, as quoted above:

• the payslip must be “given” to the employee by the employer,
• this must be done “at or before” the time when the payment is made, and
• the paylist must be “written”

There are only a limited number of circumstances where an employer does not have to provide a payslip, for example if the person is not an employee, such as a contractor, freelancer or ‘self-employed worker’

The payslips can be used as proof of earnings, tax paid and any pension contributions.

Employers can choose whether they provide printed payslips, or send them electronically (online).
