Pay slips
Your child may be unsure about the pay-slip they receive from their employer and ask you for advice. Do you know what is supposed to be on that pay slip?
It is important that all pay slips contain complete and accurate information.
Regardless of how they are paid, all employees must be given a pay slip.
The pay slip must contain the following information:
- Name and ABN of the employer.
- Name of employee.
- Classification of the employee under their award or enterprise agreement (including full-time, part-time and casual status).
- Date when the payment was made.
- Period of employment to which the payment relates.
- The amount of money paid before tax (gross amount) (including overtime and other payments).
- Amount paid as overtime or information to allow the employee to calculate the amount of overtime.
- Amount deducted for tax.
- Any amount deducted by the employee for superannuation.
- Particulars of all other deductions.
- Amount paid after tax (net amount).
