Salary Slips Before Payday: Is It Okay to Share Them Early with Employees?

Hi all,

In my company, the salary is credited by the 7th of the month. There have been a few instances where employees have asked for their salary slip on the 1st of the month, i.e., before the salary is credited. Is it permissible to provide a salary slip to an employee before their salary is credited to their account?

Hello,

Yes, you can. As per my current practice, I run the payroll on the 1st of every month and share salary slips with employees. We conduct salary transfers through the official bank of the organization, so salaries are credited on the 7th. If there are any discrepancies, employees can ask you to rectify them. It's up to you whether you want to adjust any differences in the same payroll or carry them forward to the next month. In my opinion, there is no harm in publishing slips on the 1st.
