# Payslips

> Browse payslips across the organization, and what an employee sees on their own Pay tab.

export const PermissionNote = ({perm}) => <Info>
    Requires the <code>{perm}</code> permission. Ask your administrator if an
    action described here is missing from your screen — see
    [Roles & permissions](/help/concepts/roles-and-permissions).
  </Info>;

A **payslip** is created when a cycle is **disbursed**. Until then, the numbers exist only as the cycle's run lines — visible on the review screen, not to the employee.

## The admin browser

<PermissionNote perm="payroll:read" />

**Payroll → Payslips** lists stored payslips across every cycle, organization-wide.

| Filter     | Narrows by                         |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Month**  | The pay period.                    |
| **Status** | `Paid`, `Processing` or `Pending`. |
| **Search** | Employee name or code.             |

The KPI strip above the list — slip count, gross and net totals — reflects the **filtered** set, so narrowing to one location gives you that location's totals.

<Note>
  This browser reads stored `Payslip` rows, not run lines. A cycle that has been calculated but not disbursed does not appear here. Use the cycle's review screen for that.
</Note>

## What an employee sees

Employees reach their own payslips through the **Pay** tab of the employee app, under the `pay:read` permission — a different key from `payroll:read`, and one every preset carries.

They see:

* **A year-to-date summary** — earnings, deductions and net so far this financial year.
* **A month list**, each row showing the net amount and the payment status.
* **The full detail** for any month: earnings line by line, deductions line by line, and the attendance that produced them — paid days, loss-of-pay days, overtime hours.
* **Tax documents**, including Form 16 once your organization has generated, signed and distributed it.

See the [employee app's Pay tab](/help/employee-app/pay) for the employee's-eye view.

## Notification on disbursement

Disbursing notifies every employee that their payslip is available — provided **payslip notifications** are enabled in your organization's notification preferences. If they are turned off, the payslips still appear; nobody is told.

<Warning>
  Notifications are **in-app only**. There is no email, SMS or WhatsApp fan-out for payslip publication. Employees see the notification when they next open the app.
</Warning>

## Corrections after disbursement

There is no un-disburse and no payslip editor. A payslip that is wrong is corrected the way payroll corrections normally are: an adjustment in the following month's cycle, via a [line-level override](/help/payroll/overrides) with a note explaining what it corrects.

<Tip>
  This is why the review stage matters. It is the last cheap moment.
