Payslip
A document issued by your employer each month that details your earnings, deductions, and net pay. Payslips are a key requirement for loan applications, as they prove your employment status and income level. In South Africa, employers are legally required to provide payslips under the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
Usage Examples
"The loan application required his latest payslip showing gross income of at least R8,000 per month."
"Your payslip shows deductions for UIF, PAYE tax, pension, and medical aid — lenders use the net pay figure for affordability."
"Self-employed applicants who don't have a payslip can provide bank statements and tax returns as proof of income instead."
