Do I have the right to a pay statement?

The law states you are entitled to an 'itemised pay statement', to accompany each payment of wages, setting out each element of pay, each deduction and the amount of net pay.

Information on fixed deductions, such as union subscriptions, or charity donations, may be shown as a consolidated total, provided that a statement explaining the breakdown of each item is given to you at least every 12 months.

The law applies to all employees, including part-timers.
