For most people, it lands on their desk or in their inbox without much fanfare. But for those in the payroll industry, a payslip is so much more than a collection of numbers and tax codes. An informative, accurate payslip - delivered on time and to the right person - is the culmination of hours of hard work and professionalism.
In short, professional payslips are the hallmark of a professional umbrella payroll company.
This article will explore the ingredients that come together to make a professional payslip and how you can ensure that your payslips are helping you and your contractors.
What are Umbrella Payslips?
Payslips are a fundamental part of the rights of an employee, accuracy and timeliness are essential. This is underscored by the following information provided by Gov.uk:
Payslips must be provided on or before payday.
Gov.uk goes on to say to explain what must be included on a payslip
- your earnings before and after any deductions
- the amount of any deductions that may change each time you’re paid, for example tax and National Insurance
- the number of hours you worked, if your pay varies depending on time worked
Employers must also explain any deductions fixed in amount, for example repayment of a season ticket loan. They can choose to do this either on a payslip, or in a separate written statement.
