Nursery World - All workers now entitled to a payslip

A poll has found that 15 per cent of workers under 24 do not receive a payslip, ahead of a change to the law that means that all workers are now legally entitled to one.

The research was commissioned by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), which is encouraging all workers to check their payslips, following a change in the law entitling all workers, including casual and zero-hour workers, to a payslip.

If paid hourly, a payslip will show how many hours worked and make it easier for employees and workers to check they are being paid the legal minimum.

It is estimated 290,000 more workers are now eligible for payslips. The onus is on employers to make sure they receive one.

Both the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and the National Living Wage (NLW) rates have risen from 1 April.
