Payslips
Most employees have a right to receive a payslip or pay statement at, or
before, the time of payment.
Your payslip will include:
• the name of the company or person you work for
• your name (the ‘employee’)
• your pay reference number
• payment date - when the money will be given to you or go into your
account
• gross pay - the amount you earned before deductions
• deductions - these are paid if you earn above a certain level; these
include:
- a National Insurance contribution - you must pay this if you earn
more than £110.01 a week. On earnings between £110.01 and £844
a week you pay 11%
- Income Tax - you must pay this if you earn over £6,475 each year.
You pay 20% basic rate on earnings up to £37,400.
These figures change each year. Other deductions can only be made if
you have given permission.
• your net pay (what you take home).
