Labour Movement welcomes Tripartite Guidelines on Issuance of Payslips

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the tripartite partners have issued the Tripartite Guidelines on Issuance of Itemised Payslips today which seeks to guide employers, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in issuing itemised payslips.

The Labour Movement welcomes these guidelines as it would translate to greater transparency for workers.  Providing workers with itemised payslips will go some way to help them better understand their salary components as well as provide a means of proper documentation.

On the part of workers, we encourage them to keep their payslips properly and clarify with their employers or HR personnel if they do not understand any of the components listed in their payslips.
