As an employer, you are legally required to make and keep employment records. These records must be in English and kept for at least 7 years.
You also need to give employees pay slips, within 1 working day of payment. Your pay slips need to contain certain information.
Make or update records
a new employee starts
pay an employee
an employee takes leave
an employee resigns or their employment is terminated
business name changes
employee’s name changes
employee’s employment status changes.
Updating records can be as simple as adding a note to the existing record about the changed circumstances. Future records and pay slips should also reflect any changes made.
