Frequently asked questions

Can I make a salary slip in Word?+

Yes. A Word table with earnings, deductions and net pay is enough for small employers. Fill it each month, print or export to PDF, and share with the employee.

Do small shops need to give salary slips?+

Wage laws and state Shops and Establishments rules generally expect employers to maintain wage records and provide wage details to workers. A simple slip is an easy way to do this.

Is PF mandatory for a small business?+

PF coverage depends on the number of employees and the law applicable to the establishment. Check your coverage with a consultant; if not covered, delete the PF row.
