What is a payslip and is it mandatory?

Quick answer

  1. 1. A payslip is the individual document detailing each employee's salary.
  2. 2. It contains gross salary, withholdings (CAS, CASS, tax), bonuses, deductions and net pay.
  3. 3. The employer must give it to the employee every month.
  4. 4. It can be delivered on paper or electronically.
  5. 5. It is generated from the payroll register of that month.

What the law says

  • The employer must inform the employee monthly about the components of the salary.
  • The payslip details gross, withholdings, bonuses, deductions and net.
  • Delivery may also be electronic, if the employee has access.
  • The payslip data must match the payroll register and D112.
  • Failing to inform the employee can be penalized as a violation.

Practical examples

  • Example: the March payslip of an employee on 5,000 lei gross shows ~1,750 lei withholdings and ~2,950 lei net.
  • Example: a night or weekend bonus appears separately on the payslip, added to the gross.
  • Example: a company sends payslips electronically, each employee receiving only their own document.

Common mistakes

  • Not delivering the payslip at all, though monthly information is mandatory.
  • Sending a payslip with figures that do not match the payroll register or D112.
  • Exposing all employees' salary data instead of individual documents.
  • Confusing the payslip (individual) with the payroll register (the full list).
