Where to find them

My Stuff > My payslips. Every finalised pay run that includes you shows as a row with:

  • Period (e.g. "1–31 July 2026")
  • Payment date
  • Net pay
  • Download button

Payslips appear as soon as your HR admin finalises the run.

What's on the PDF

Each payslip is ERA s.8 compliant — it includes everything UK law requires plus extras:

Top — identification

  • Employer name + address
  • Employee name + employee number
  • Period + payment date
  • Tax code + NI category + NI number

Middle — payments

  • Basic pay for the period
  • Statutory pay if any (SMP, SSP, etc.)
  • Bonus / overtime / other taxable if any
  • Salary sacrifice if any (shown as a reduction before tax)

Deductions

  • Income tax (PAYE)
  • Employee National Insurance
  • Student loan (if applicable)
  • Employee pension (if enrolled)
  • Other post-tax deductions (if any)

Bottom — net + YTD

  • Net pay = what hits your bank
  • YTD totals — taxable pay, tax, NI, pension across all finalised runs this tax year
  • Employer NI (paid on top of your salary)
  • Employer pension (paid on top)

These don't affect your net but show the full cost-of-employment.

Payment timing

The payment date is the date your employer's bank is instructed to pay you. Actual arrival depends on your bank:

  • Faster Payments — same day, often within minutes
  • BACS — next working day

Year-to-date (YTD)

The UK tax year runs 6 April to 5 April. YTD totals reset on 6 April. Mid-year hires start with their previous employer's YTD pre-loaded from their P45.
