Salary Slips Alongside Bonus Payment Slips

[majic]

Dear Friends,

I have 12 Salary Slips which give X amount as my Gross Salary each. I have an additional Bonus Payment Voucher / Slip which shows Gross Bonus Amount & Tax Deductable & Net Bonus Amount Paid.

Note: The Reason for this seperate slip is that in our Oracle Applications Payroll System the Payslip has no provision for Bonus Payment. So it has been a normal procedure to give employee a seperate Bonus Payment Slip which looks different from the normal Pay Slip.

So in all I have 12 Salary Slips + 1 Bonus Payment Slip = 13 Slips.

A) My Employer has Sealed and Signed all 13 Slips.
B) Employer's Letter which Lists Total Earning over 12 months broken up into 12 montly Salaries + 1 Bonus Payment
C) Bank Statement shows all 13 transactions.
D) The total adds up to the GROSS Salary amount on the Income Tax Return on which Tax has been paid.

My Question is:

Will this 13th slip be considered or not? Because the Guidence notes state that Allowance not on the Wage Slip be ignored.

Please note that all 13 transactions (payments) are with in the 12 month claimed period.

Please please do advice.

Regards

Would anyone be kind enough to assist me on this matter?

Hi,

As far as I know if u explain this in your cover letter why u have 13 pay slips u should be ok because as u said all the 13 transanctions are in 12 months period. I dont see any problem with that. I would say if u can get a letter from your employer explaining this that would be excellent.

Hi,

I also had a seperate slip for annual bonus and seperate transaction in the bank.

But if you gothrough the HSMP document its very clear that any allowance or benifits not mentioned on the Wage Slips will not be considered in the earnings calculation.

So it is better to avoid this if you clear the reqirement with the monthly salary as in payslip for the last 12 months.
(or)
you need to get the annual salary certificate from you employer and the total annual salary should exactly match with the total annual earnings.

All the best!

Dear Friends,

The more I go through the Guidence Notes and through the FOrum I have mix feelings about my Payslips i.e. the 13th Slip with which shows that I have been paid a bonus.

In light of the Guidence notes What would you guys recommend. This 13th slip is "Signed & Sealed by the Employer". The slip also shows that this piece of income is taxed. I have a letter which clearly states my total claimed income and Bank statement which shows amount credited into my Bank Account.

Please Please Please advice whether I should go ahead with my application or not.

Regards
