A payslip is a financial document often overlooked but plays an important role in managing personal finances. In this article, we will take an in-depth look at payslips, including their functions and why a good understanding of this document is essential for every worker.
A payslip is an official document provided by a company to its employees as proof of salary payment. This payslip contains various important information related to the employee's salary amount, allowances, tax liabilities, and deductions. Generally, payslips are received shortly after the salary is given in a certain period, depending on company policy.
When referring to Labour Law number 13 of 2003, there are no provisions regarding pay slips that must be submitted by companies to employees every month.
However, it is different from Wage Regulation No. 78 of 2015 which regulates that employers are obliged to provide proof of wage payment containing details of wages received by workers/laborers when wages are paid.
Employees can submit a request to obtain a payslip directly to the Finance Department or HRD (Human Resouce Department) if needed. This Pay Slip document is not always issued every month to employees. However, it is generally a requirement when the employee wants to apply for a loan or do tax reporting.
