Free Payslip Generator (Seychelles)

The duty to give a payslip comes from section 36 of the Employment Act 1995 (Cap 69). An employer who pays wages must keep a record of the payment together with evidence that the worker received it, and must issue a pay slip recording the details of the payment to the worker. The Act does not list the items line by line, but where receipt is not recorded in the pay book, section 36(3) requires the receipt to contain the particulars of the wages and the deductions made from them, so a payslip should show gross pay, each deduction and the net amount paid.

If the employer cannot show a record of payment and the worker disputes that the wages were paid, section 36(2) creates a presumption against the employer that payment was not made. A signed or otherwise acknowledged payslip is therefore the employer's best evidence.

Section 35 separately requires every employer, except one who employs only part-time, casual or domestic workers, to keep a record of the wages due to each worker, the deductions and the amounts actually paid. The record is kept at the place of employment and must be available to the competent officer of the Ministry of Employment on inspection.

Timing follows section 32. Cash wages are paid at regular intervals of not less than once a month and no later than the fifth day after they fall due. Wages paid by cheque or bank transfer are paid at least monthly, before the due date, and a worker earning under R2000 a month must consent to payment by cheque or transfer. Under section 33, deductions for damage, overpayment or cash shortages cannot together exceed one quarter of the wages at any one time unless the worker agrees in writing to more.

Employees and employers both contribute to the Seychelles Pension Fund (SPF). Since 1 January 2023 the employee pays 5 % of gross monthly salary and the employer adds a matching 5 %, a total of 10 % of the employee's gross pay.

The employer pays the whole amount to the SPF by the 21st day of the month after the salary month, through the SPF e-Contributions platform after registering for an employer number.

Self-employed people have their own registration route with the SPF. In April 2026 the SPF allowed a temporary deferral of employer contributions for March to May 2026 for qualifying tourism, wholesale and retail employers, with a new due date of 30 June 2026; that option has ended.
