What must a payslip show in Hong Kong SAR China?
The Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) does not require a payslip as such, but section 49A requires employers to keep wage and employment records covering the preceding 12 months. Under the MPF system, employers must give each employee a monthly pay-record within seven working days after paying MPF contributions, showing relevant income, mandatory and voluntary contributions and the contribution date — in practice this is usually combined with the pay slip.
Items the rules require (in short):
- Employer contributions
- MPF pay-record: the employee's relevant income for the month
- MPF pay-record: employer and employee mandatory contributions and any voluntary contributions
- MPF pay-record: the date contributions were paid
