What must a payslip show in Singapore?
Since 1 April 2016 the Employment Act requires employers to issue itemised payslips to all employees covered by the Act, including those on probation. The payslip must be given with the salary payment, or within three working days of it, in hard or soft copy. Employers must also keep payslip records: the latest two years for current employees, and for one year after an employee leaves.
Items the rules require (in short):
- Employer's name
- Employee's name
- Payment date
- Rate of pay
- Pay period
- Each earning itemised (basic pay, allowances, bonuses)
- Each deduction itemised with its amount
- Hours worked
- Overtime hours and pay
- Net pay
- Basic salary (for hourly, daily or piece-rated employees, also the basic rate and total hours, days or pieces worked)
- Allowances (fixed and ad-hoc) and other additional payments such as bonus, rest day and public holiday pay
- Overtime hours worked and the overtime period if different from the salary period
