FLR(M) – electronic payslips

Hello,

I am sorry if this has been asked and answered before.

My company only has electronic payslips – no official paper payslip exists. In addition, our accountant doesn't have any kind of official stamp.

Do I need to have our accountant sign each page of the payslips I print off for my application (I'll be using 7 months, for Category A)? Is a signature enough, or does she need to date each page and also print her name / job title...?

I know you can also include the payslip information in the employment letter and have HR verify these as authentic. Do I need to do both (have accountant sign each page and have HR verify they're accurate)?

Thanks so much!

The guidance specifies a letter to authenticate the payslips. We suggest including the amount of each one in the letter. It can form part of the employer letter.

If you want to have them sign and date it too you can but it's not required.

.bb) Payslips must be:
(i) formal payslips issued by the employer and showing the employer’s name; or
(ii) accompanied by a letter from the employer, on the employer’s headed paper and signed by a senior official, confirming the payslips are authentic;

Thanks so much, Larrabee! I'll try to stop asking obvious questions. Just getting anxious!!
