What is an Itemised Pay Slip?
An Itemised Pay Slip issued by an employer to an employee.
As of 1 April 2016, it is mandatory for employers to issue Itemised Pay Slips to all employees covered by the Employment Act.
The Itemised Pay Slip should be given together with payment to the employee, or if this is not feasible, within three working days of payment. In the event that the employee is terminated or dismissed, the Itemised Pay Slip must be given together with the outstanding salary.
Points to note
You should note that from 1 April 2016, all employers must issue Itemised Pay Slips to employees covered by the Employment Act (see below). Failure to issue Itemised Pay Slips will constitute a civil breach of the Employment Act, which could result in administrative penalties (e.g. a financial penalty).

The Itemised Pay Slip should be given together with payment to the employee, or if this is not feasible, within three working days of payment.

Do you need to keep a record of the issued Itemised Pay Slips?
