Dear All,
First of all as rightly pointed out by Kamal, this is not the right forum to verify such a document. you have to consider privacy of the person this document pertains to as well as the organization that purpotedly issued it.
The most surefire and fool proof method to authenticate a document is by calling up the HR department of the company and asking them to verify it.
As far as the views of the above contributors, the contents may be genuine as some organizations do not follow the rule book deliberately or from sheer lack of knowledge. I have seen all kindls of payslips but have the kinds of mistakes aspointed out in the document attached.
One of the simplest way is to look at the document properties:
It was created using openoffice.org 3.1 and perpared on a computer registered to "Rashid Jamal"
When such a document is generated thru any software system it will contain the name of the software as the author and mostly will have a pdf printer or writer software as PDF Producer.
Also most of the payroll software outputs will contain the disclaimer that the document is a digital output and does not require a signature. In absence of such a disclaimer a signature and seal are required for authentication of the document.
