Hi Meghal,
A payslip is the document that one receives when employed, showing their take-home salary details. One requires the salary slip when looking for new employment or applying for a loan against salary. In the first case, one may present the wrong salary, potentially leading to an incorrect salary hike. Therefore, it is essential to present the salary slip to avoid such discrepancies. This situation applies similarly in the second case as well.

Agree with Amit.
Also, the payslips are required to let the employee know what their net pay is by clearly indicating on salary slips various components and deductions: statutory and administrative.

An add-on to what Kamaljeet has already said:
a) An employee needs to be provided with the payslip in advance, i.e., before salary disbursal.
b) The HP government has recently started a good initiative, i.e., salary transfer only through a bank account.

Dear Meghal,
As per the below-mentioned rules, the payslip forms a legal mandatory requirement. It must be distributed to the employees with their and the employer's/representative's signature.
[Minimum Wage (Central) Rules, 1950, Rule 26(4) and Minimum Wage (Central) Rules, 1950, Rule 26(3)]
Employees should be aware of the contents of the payslip. Even if it is transferred to the bank, there should be an authenticated record stating that the employee is willing to have his/her salary transferred to the bank.

Hi Eli,
If the company is not providing the salary slip, but you have the appointment letter and the company provides you with the release letter, then you can still continue the job. If none of these documents are provided, a written letter must be sent to the HR department, marking a copy to the director, explaining why the mentioned documents have not been provided or stating that you require them. If you don't receive a reply, it's better to quit the job. While you can have a verbal conversation, it's essential to have proof that you communicated with management. Also, keep a record of the written letter. This will help you explain to your next employer why you left the current organization.
As far as I know, the appointment letter and salary slip are crucial documents as they serve as proof of your employment with a specific organization, in a certain designation, and for a specific amount. Due to their importance, the government has established legal regulations concerning these documents.
I would recommend that everyone discuss the laws regarding appointment letters, salary slips, employment contracts, and release letters. This will benefit everyone in the forum.

What about the notice period? I am not receiving a salary slip and, therefore, want to quit this job. In my appointment letter, two months of notice period is mentioned. What about that? Do I need to pay for that, or is this lack of providing a salary slip a sufficient reason for immediate resignation and release from the company?

Couple of points:
- Providing a salary slip is important as it indicates to an employee the basis of all his net earnings and deductions for a particular month.
- A salary slip provides instant help for individuals who are trying to get financial support from banking/financial institutions.
- A salary slip serves as proof of income (indicated net take-home every month). This helps banks/financial institutes decide on the loan amount to be sanctioned.
- It provides proof of continuity in service. Usually, any kind of financial help required from a bank calls for the provision of 3 months' salary slips and the account statements of the salary account.
What if a company does not provide salary slips:
- It indicates an unprofessional attitude towards services rendered by an employee.
- It would lead to enough employee issues (imagine a disgruntled employee walking to your desk every now and then asking for clarification on salary paid).
- Providing a salary slip may not guarantee satisfied employees, but not providing one surely causes dissatisfaction.
- The impacts of these employee issues can be seen in a number of ways (poor performance, multiple issues concerning salaries, may contribute to attrition).
For Employees:
If your employers are not providing you with the salary slips, that does not support you in quitting the organization without a notice period. Moreover, taking a closer look, if you quit without an adequate notice period, you may as well not receive any kind of employment documents (relieving or experience letters) which are all the more important in case you do not have a salary slip!
If your employer does not provide a salary slip, you may request a salary certificate (with the salary structure) whenever required.

Hi Eli,
You can go and talk to the manager that since the company is not giving you the payslip, you would like to quit. Tell them that either you should get a payslip (which is mandatory according to the Minimum Wage Act 1950) or else you are leaving and will not serve any notice period or pay for that because at the time of appointment, it was not mentioned that you will not get the payslip (which again is proof of you receiving a certain sum of money, which becomes a legal proof for loans, credit cards, bank account opening, etc., and most importantly an experience proof). Since you are not at fault, you should be given a clean clearance.
Again, I tell you, there is no need to worry. It's better not to work rather than to work for a firm where you don't get your legal rights.
Guys, the case of not giving payslips and appointment letters is increasing in India. Employers have found a way where an employee cannot find a job outside the organization, as they will not have proof to show that they work with a certain company and earn a certain amount. We need to discuss this because this is a very serious matter. Please give your suggestions.

Dear Kamaljit,
I believe a payslip is the most important document. If a company is not providing that, do you expect that they will provide the other documents at the time of release? Again, in my opinion, it's better to search for a new job rather than waste time on the notice period.

Hi,
I am working in Customs and Central Excise, a Ministry of Finance organization. The accounts department, which disburses salary to me, refuses to issue salary slips to me on a monthly basis. They contend that a salary slip will be issued only if it is needed as proof of salary, for example, for loan purposes or for taking conveyance on EMI, etc. Is the department's contention valid?

Hi, I want to know if I can file a complaint against the company I am currently working in. I work at Firstsource Solutions Limited, a BPO company in Skyrise 1, IT Park Cebu City. I am about to tell you what happened from the start. I am with FSL for 7 months, and since I have 2 children and I don't have someone to look after them at the moment, I tendered an immediate resignation. But the managers asked me if I can just take a leave instead and retract my resignation because, as they told me, they cannot afford to lose me in the company. I agreed.
Then it just so happened that I checked my payslip online since today is payday, I still have something to receive. My Payroll ATM is held with a financial institution since I have an existing loan, and I go there every time payday comes to get the remainder of my pay. But to my shock, the lady that works in the financial institution said my salary is negative to what I owe. I went to our office, and they let me wait for more than 3 hours even though I told them that I really need the money since I left my children and my mother in a restaurant thinking that I will be having my pay since the payslip is already generated. But the HR manager looked at me as if I am stupid and said that her assistant already explained that the payslip is just a computation of what I should be receiving but since I was on leave as a part of the bargain that I would not resign from May 1-15, they are putting a hold on my pay. I was so helpless that I even cried and begged for the money that I have worked for. The HR manager (I just know her name is Ms. Angie) said that what me and the account vice president have talked about, she is out of it. She is just following the rules.
Just to let you know though, the basic pay is paid real-time every pay, but all of the deductions, overtimes, night differentials will be carried over to the next pay. But the point is, they have generated a payslip, and that's what I worked for a certain cut-off, and they hold the pay. I don't know where to go now, and I am sure that you can give me good advice and what actions to take on this situation.
Thank you.

Dear Sir,
I am a doctor working as an assistant to a cardiologist. There are only five people in our team. However, they do not provide me with a salary slip, which is causing issues for me. I believe I am paying more income tax than necessary. Could you please advise me on what steps I can take to resolve this matter?

Hi Meghal,
A payslip is a formal proof that an employer must present to an employee, stating how much the company is paying its employees. Formal payslips are necessary for the employer for tasks such as accounting, statutory compliance, and filing taxes with government bodies. Employees also require payslips for various activities, such as availing loans from banks. Additionally, for employees, the payslip serves as evidence to show in their next job that they were employed in a previous organization and how much they were earning.
