Salary, payroll, and employee benefits

A clear walkthrough of how your salary becomes take-home pay, from payslip deductions and government contributions to income tax, 13th month pay, and what you're legally owed when a job changes or ends.

Reading your payslip

A payslip breaks down exactly how your salary for the pay period turned into the amount that landed in your bank account. At the top sits your gross pay, the full amount you earned before anything is taken out, based on your monthly or daily rate multiplied by the days or hours you worked. Everything below that line explains why your take-home pay ends up smaller.
