The letter to request a payslip is often written by the people to their previous employer. There are many reasons for which you may have to contact your previous employer for the issuance of a payslip. Sometimes, your new job requires you to submit a payslip.

Many people also need salary slips to avail the different types of benefits. No matter for which reason you need to get the salary slip, you are required to write the request letter in a formal way.

Tips to write the request letter:

  1. Start the letter by addressing your formal employer in a respectful manner.
  2. Mention the date on which you are writing this letter. Mentioning the date is important since it makes you provide your request letter as proof that you have requested the salary slip.
  3. Tell your old employer about the dates you started to work for his company and the dates you were dismissed or resigned from the job.
  4. To be identified easily, mention the post on which you have worked as well as the department.
  5. Amount of money owed by you such as overtime salary, compensation, bonuses, and a lot more.
  6. Inform your previous employer that it is important for you to get the salary slip.
  7. Mention the purpose of requesting. It is not compulsory for you to mention the purpose, however, the employer may be able to support you more conveniently if s/he knows the purpose.
