Payslips Are Important

Payslips help you check salary, overtime, tax, insurance, pension, and deductions.

Ask in Writing

Ask the company in writing for payslips or salary details. Keep the response.

Keep Other Records

Save bank transfers, shift tables, time records, contracts, and messages.

Check Deductions

If deductions are unclear, ask what each amount is for.

Consult With Records

Bring all records to a labor consultation office if the company does not explain.
