Joining Bonus Dilemma: Should Cash Payments Be Included in the Payslip?

Anku9
Dear All,

Recently, we paid a joining bonus of 10k to a new employee. We provided 5k in cash on his first day of joining, and the remaining 5k was credited to his account along with his salary of 20k. In total, we paid him 30k in the first month: 20k as his salary and 10k as a joining bonus (partly paid in cash and the rest in his account).

Should I include the cash payment amount in the payslip? Doing so would result in a total amount that differs from his bank statement.

It depends on your internal system. One way out is to show the first $5,000 in salary as an advance, then include the entire $30,000 and the payment will tally.
