A payslip shows an employee's income and deductions. It is requested for visa applications, loan files and overseas assignments.
Deductions shown on the payslip — social insurance contributions, income tax and stamp duty — are translated using their equivalents in the target language. Numerical data and currency are preserved without conversion.
