UK Payslip Legal Requirements: Complete Employer Guide

Under the Employment Rights Act 1996, all employers in the United Kingdom are legally required to provide employees with an itemised pay statement (payslip) on or before each payday. Since April 2019, this requirement extends to workers as well as employees, and payslips for hourly-paid staff must include the number of hours worked.
