What Must an Australian Payslip Contain?
Under the Fair Work Regulations 2009 (reg 3.46), every payslip issued by an Australian employer must include these 13 items:
- Employer's name
- Employer's ABN (Australian Business Number)
- Employee's name
- Period of employment the pay covers
- Date of payment
- Gross amount of payment
- Net amount of payment
- Ordinary hourly rate of pay (or annual salary for salaried employees)
- Number of hours worked at that rate (if hourly)
- Any loadings, allowances, bonuses, incentives, or penalty rates — named and with amounts
- Any deductions — named and with amounts
- Superannuation contribution amount
- Name of the superannuation fund
Employers who fail to provide compliant payslips can face penalties of up to $21,840 per breach for individuals and $109,200 per breach for companies (from 1 July 2026).
