What must a payslip show in Ireland?
Section 4 of the Payment of Wages Act 1991 requires an employer to give each employee a written statement with every payment of wages, clearly specifying the gross wages payable and the nature and amount of every deduction. Where wages are paid by credit transfer, the statement must be given as soon as possible afterwards.
Items the rules require (in short):
- Gross pay
- Each deduction itemised with its amount
- The nature and amount of each deduction
- Given with each wage payment; where wages are paid by credit transfer, as soon as possible after the transfer
- The employer must treat the information in the pay statement as confidential

FAQ
Do employers in Ireland have to give payslips?
Yes. Section 4 of the Payment of Wages Act 1991 requires a written statement with each payment of wages showing the gross wages and the nature and amount of every deduction. Failing to provide one is an offence under the Act.
When must the payslip be given if I pay by bank transfer?
Where wages are paid by credit transfer, the statement must be given to the employee as soon as possible after the transfer. Otherwise it must accompany the wage payment.
What do PAYE, USC and PRSI mean on a payslip?
PAYE is income tax deducted under the Pay As You Earn system, USC is the Universal Social Charge, and PRSI is Pay Related Social Insurance. All three are deducted by the employer and reported to Revenue; employees can check them in Revenue's myAccount.
Does PayslipKit calculate my deductions?
No. The preset only adds the line labels; you type in the amounts. This is not tax or legal advice – verify with Revenue and the Workplace Relations Commission.
