Is It Necessary for Employees to Sign Payslips When Paid Through the Bank?

Hi all, my company pays most of the salary and wages through the bank. Is it necessary for the employees to sign their payslips?

Thank you.

Employee and Employer Signatures on Payslips

The necessity for the employee to sign the payslip is to acknowledge receipt of the payment information. The payslip is intended for the employee's records, and they can choose to keep or discard it. However, the payslip issued to the employer must be duly signed by an authorized signatory. Therefore, on the payslip, the employer's authorized signatory is mandatory, not the employee's.

Yes, it is necessary for employees to sign the payslip as proof that you have issued it to them. You can create the payslip with a carbon copy attached, provide them with the copy, and retain the original for audit and documentation purposes.

Dear Dignitaries, I started my career in August 2011 in a small HR consulting company as a Junior Consulting HR with an agreement of one year, but now they are not providing the salary properly. Meanwhile, they haven't provided me with a payslip for any month. Will this create any problems in the future? Kindly post your response...!

Thanks & Regards,

Proof of Salary Documentation

As proof of salary, an employee needs to have any of the following:

• Salary Slip - with an office seal and signature by a representative from the payroll department.

• System-generated pay slips - these pay slips do not require any signatures or stamps.

• Bank Statement.

• Form 16.

Any of these four is acceptable.

I never signed the payslips. It's not required. Nowadays, payslips are generated online through a portal, which does not require signatures from either the employer or the employee.
