Hello All,

As the accounts manager and administrator, I would like to know what to do if an employee refuses to sign on the counterfoil of the salary slip. We have a procedure that a salary slip is given, and a counterfoil of the salary slip must be signed by the employee as it is required in our accounts and by our auditors.

The employee refuses to sign and says that he does not need the salary slip and will also not sign on the counter salary slip. What steps or legal actions can be taken?

You need not take any legal steps for this kind of minor misconduct, but just note in the counterfoil that the employee refused to collect the payslip or refused to sign on the counterfoil. That is enough for the auditors. Even the Labour Department will not question it if they find a remark like this.

You can just tell the employee that next month onwards he won't be getting the salary, and he can submit his resignation. RULES ARE RULES. I don't think there is any reason for him to say, "I don't want a payslip, and I won't sign." When he is asked to sign, he should do so without making an issue, as other employees have done. This is too much. Please take care of such troublemakers.

Dear All, If salary gets deposited directly in bank account of employee then is it compulsory to take signature on counter foil. can’t we show them bank statement? with warm regards, Trupti

Dear Trupti,

A salary slip has a definitive purpose and can be used more effectively for loans, presentations to other employers, etc. A bank statement is also legal, but it is not the right way. A salary slip will show the breakup of the salary and deductions. This is very important for the accounts of the company as well as necessary for the employee.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for the reply. We provide salary slips to our employees but do not take their acknowledgment (signature) stating that they have received the salary slips from us. We also maintain a copy of the salary slip in the register. What I wanted to know is if acknowledgment is compulsory, or can we show the bank statement to the concerned authorities who come for audit or inspection.

Hi everyone,

I am actually shifting to another company and I require a salary slip from my current company. Since the company is not issuing any salary slip to me, what is another alternative to show my CTC to the new company?

Dear sir,

Salaries can be directly deposited into employees' accounts for all the employees, so there shouldn't be a problem. You can obtain a copy of an acknowledged letter from the bank for the transfer of salary to employees' accounts. Additionally, the company bank statement will also reflect the amount transferred.
