There is no direct mandate for employers/agencies to issue payslips to its employees. However, DOLE has made it clear that being issued their payslips is the employees’ right. “Regardless of their work status, casual or regular employees, job designation, and rate of wages, they are entitled to receive pay slips from their employers.”
Sa totoo lang EMPLOYMENT document yang payslip which is napaka vital. Pabor nga sa side ng employer/agrncy yung walang palyang pagbibigay nyan, bakit? the same information contained in the payslip to prove that all such amounts indicated therein were actually ρáíd to the employee in case the latter claims non-payment, and to prove the amount and nature of deductions if the employee later on complains that certain items were wrongfully removed from his/her salary. Employers, though, have to make sure that the payslips they issue are duly received and acknowledged by the concerned employees for it to become substantial proof of actual payment.
The one who issues the employee’s payslip is invariably regarded as such employer. This finds particular significance in case of contracting or subcontracting arrangements, where the contractor’s employees sometimes confuse the principal as their employer.
