Free Payslip Generator (Pakistan)

In Sindh, section 6 of the Sindh Payment of Wages Act, 2015 requires wages to be paid in current currency by cross cheque or bank transfer "along with pay slip showing the details". The Act applies to factories, industrial establishments and commercial establishments, which section 2 defines to include banks, hotels, restaurants, schools, private hospitals and similar profit-making establishments. The Act does not list the lines a payslip must show, but section 7(2) limits deductions to named kinds, including fines, absence, advances, income tax payable by the employee, provident fund contributions and court orders. Deductions outside those kinds are not permitted.

Wages are fixed over a wage period of no more than one month (section 4). They must be paid before the end of the seventh day after the wage period where fewer than 1,000 people are employed, and before the end of the tenth day otherwise (section 5). Wages of a person whose job ends must be paid before the end of the second working day after termination. Breaching section 4 or 6 carries a fine of Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000, and breaching the deduction rules in sections 7 to 13 carries a fine in the same range (section 20). Employers in other provinces follow their own provincial wage laws.

Employees' Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) contributions are calculated on the minimum wage, not on the actual salary. The Institution's contributions page sets the employer share at 5% of the minimum wage and the employee share at 1%, a total of 6% per month for each insured employee, payable by employers of industrial and commercial organisations covered by the EOBI Act.

The minimum monthly old-age pension stated on the EOBI website is Rs 11,500 from January 2025 onwards. Each province also runs its own employees' social security institution, with its own rate and registration; check the rate with the provincial institution that covers your business.
