Does an employer have a legal obligation to give a payslip?

Of course, under the UK employment law, employers are required by law to provide a payslip template to every employee on payday. This rule works for all employees, even those on full time, zero hour and part time contracts. An independent contractor or freelancer is not entitled to receive a payslip. Payslips must be accurate and deduct all the required deductions, and the employers must take care of that. Employees can also raise the matter with their employer or seek advice from Acas (Advisory, Conciliation, and Arbitration Service) if they do not get a payslip or notice they believe is incorrect.
