VIC Employer not Showing Annual Leave or Long Service Leave in Payslips

[neli]

I'm working at this company for 14 years. I don't know how many annual leave, long service leave and sick leave I have because the employer hasn't been writing down these details in the pay slips. We have to ask all the time how many days of leave I have got. Is the employer doing legal or illegal things? What can I do in this situation?

Hi Neli,

While it is recommended to show leave balances it’s not a requirement. However, your employer must tell you your leave balance if you ask for it.

Employers must put on their payslips:

• employer’s and employee’s name
• employer’s Australian Business Number (if applicable)
• pay period
• date of payment
• gross and net pay
• if the employee is paid an hourly rate:
  • the ordinary hourly rate
  • the number of hours worked at that rate
  • the total dollar amount of pay at that rate
• any loadings, allowances, bonuses, incentive-based payments, penalty rates or other paid entitlements that can be separated out from an employee’s ordinary hourly rate
• the pay rate that applied on the last day of employment
• any deductions from the employee's pay
• any superannuation contributions
