  • Ask payroll to explain missing, unexpected or deducted line items in writing.
  • Keep bonus, AWS, commission, benefits and expenses as confirmation items rather than calculator inputs.
  • Retain the final payslip, written leave balance and follow-up record.

FAQ

Who is the final pay checklist for?
It is for an employee preparing to review final salary after resignation. Use it to collect payroll explanations and retain records, not to decide a legal entitlement.
What is the difference between the concise and detailed versions?
The concise version is a quick completion list. The detailed reconciliation version gives space for dates, payroll bases, amounts, documents, owners and a follow-up date.
Should bonus, AWS and commission be added to the calculator subtotal?
No. Keep them as confirmation items because contract terms and employer policies can affect whether and when they are paid. Ask payroll for a written explanation.
