Pay slips - the information that must be shown
A student may be unsure about pay-slip information from employer and ask their teacher 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....even for students.
An employer must provide employees with pay slips each time they are paid. The pay slip must contain the following information:
- name and Australian Business Number (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)
