What the labour law requires on a payslip
Employers must give pay slips under section 536 of the Fair Work Act 2009, and regulation 3.46 of the Fair Work Regulations 2009 lists what each one must show: the employer's and employee's names, the pay period, the date of payment, the gross and net amounts, any bonus, loading, allowance, penalty rate or incentive payment shown separately, and the employer's Australian Business Number (ABN).
Any deduction from pay must be listed with its amount and the name, or name and number, of the fund or account it was paid into. Employees paid by the hour must see the ordinary hourly rate, the hours worked at that rate and the amount paid; employees on an annual salary must see the annual rate as at the latest date the payment covers.
If the employer has made or intends to make super contributions, the pay slip must show each contribution made in the period and the fund's name, or the amounts the employer intends to pay and the fund. Pay slips must not reveal that a payment is paid family and domestic violence leave (regulation 3.47). Employee records are kept for 7 years.
Social contributions on each payslip
There is no employee social-security contribution in Australia. The employer pays the superannuation guarantee (SG) of 12% of the employee's qualifying earnings into the employee's super fund, on top of wages. Some awards and enterprise agreements require more.
SG is payable for employees aged 18 and over, for employees under 18 who work more than 30 hours a week, for company directors and for some contractors.
Since 1 July 2026 under Payday Super, the contribution is due with each pay run and must reach the employee's fund within 7 business days of payday; the first contribution for a new employee can take up to 20 business days. Late or missing payments trigger the super guarantee charge (SGC). Salary-sacrificed amounts are reportable super contributions and go to the ATO through Single Touch Payroll. Super records must be kept for at least 5 years. Payroll tax is a separate state or territory tax on larger wage bills.
