What must be on a payslip?

A payslip is required on every pay day, cash or not. Eleven things go on it: your details, theirs, the period, their rate, ordinary hours, overtime hours, Sunday and public holiday hours, their wage, any other pay, deductions, and what they actually got. No format is prescribed - handwritten is compliant, and so is this printout. A household owes one regardless of headcount.

General information, not legal advice, for staff in a private household. Business payslip rules differ - see the legal and compliance page. Related: what must be on a payslip, the free payroll check.
