Pay Slip
When paying wages, employers are legally required to issue a pay slip (Labor Standards Act Art. 48, in force since Nov 2021). It must show the total wage, itemized base pay/allowances, how they’re calculated, and deductions (income tax, 4 insurances), so you can see why your pay is what it is. Failing to provide one or stating it falsely can lead to a fine for the employer, and foreigners have the same right to receive it.
How to proceed
- 1Get a pay slip every payday (paper or electronic document both fine)
- 2Check base pay and overtime/night/holiday allowances and the hours match
- 3Check it shows how each item is calculated (e.g., hourly × hours)
- 4Check the deductions (income tax, 4 insurances) are itemized
- 5Compare the net amount with what was deposited, and keep the slip
Tips
- Issuing a pay slip is the employer’s legal duty — request it confidently if missing (non-issuance/false entries can be fined).
- ⚠️ If the slip and the deposit differ, it may be wage arrears — don’t assume; consult ☎1350.
- Keep your slips each month — they’re key evidence in wage, severance, or leave-allowance disputes.
- If not on paper, you can receive it as an electronic document (e.g., messenger/email — legally valid).
