In many jurisdictions, employers must provide employees with payslips detailing their earnings and deductions for each pay period. This helps ensure transparency and accountability in wage payments and is often mandated by labor laws or regulations.
Employers typically generate payslips using payroll software or templates specifically designed for this purpose. To create a payslip, employers input relevant information such as employee earnings, deductions, tax withholdings, and other details into the payroll system, which then generates the payslip for distribution to employees.
You can use your last payslip for certain tax-related purposes, such as estimating your income or deductions for tax filing. However, it's important to note that for accurate tax filing, you may need additional documentation or information beyond your last payslips, such as tax forms like W-2 in the United States or equivalent documents in other countries.
The frequency and timing of payslip distribution depend on the employer's policies. Some companies may distribute payslips monthly, bi-weekly, or even weekly. The distribution day can vary but often aligns with the company's payroll schedule.
Generally, sharing your payslip with other companies is not recommended unless it's required for a specific purpose, such as applying for a loan or verifying income for a new job. However, you should exercise caution and ensure that sharing sensitive financial information is done securely and only with trusted entities.
Employees typically receive their payslips physically or electronically, depending on their employer's practices. Physical payslips are usually distributed in printed form, while electronic payslips may be accessed through a secure online portal or sent via email.

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on a salary slip refers to the amount of income tax deducted by the employer from the employee's salary and remitted to the tax authorities on behalf of the employee.

eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) is one of the simplest yet effective ways to assess your employee's opinion of your company. It includes one intriguing question that gauges loyalty. An example of eNPS questions include: How likely are you to recommend our company to others? Employees respond to the eNPS survey on a scale of 1-10, where 10 denotes they are ‘highly likely’ to recommend the company and 1 signifies they are ‘highly unlikely’ to recommend it.
