Pay Slip - Your entitlement |
Your employer may pay your wages to you (after deducting tax) in cash rather than to a bank account. Paying wages in cash is legitimate and may be more convenient for you. Some businesses, however, may offer some or all of your wages 'cash-in-hand'. This is a term usually associated with a business deliberately using cash transactions to hide their income to avoid paying tax, or to avoid meeting tax, super or other responsibilities for their employees. |
