With effect from 6 April 2019, the right to receive an itemised payslip will be extended to workers as well as employees.
In addition, the new regulations will require payslips to include details of the total number of hours worked if a worker’s wage or salary varies by reference to time worked. This aims to increase transparency by allowing workers to check they are being paid for the correct number of hours and receiving the national minimum wage.
Employers will need to check that their payroll systems are set up to produce this additional information in time for April 2019.
