Etymology
The term 'payslip' is a compound word formed from 'pay', which comes from the Old French 'paier' meaning to pay, and 'slip', derived from the Middle English 'slip' meaning a small piece of paper or a note. The usage of the word began to rise in the 1960s alongside the growth of payroll systems in business. Payslips became an essential means of communication between employers and employees, ensuring transparency in remuneration and deductions. Over the years, payslips have evolved from paper formats to electronic versions, reflecting the advancements in technology and payroll processing. Today, payslips are not just a record of salary; they are vital for tax purposes and understanding employee benefits.
