- The type of work the employee does
- The type of employment agreement, individual or collective
- The title, expiry date and employee classification in any applicable collective agreement
- Where payment is calculated by the hour: the hours and days of employment in each pay period - including the start time, finish time and any non-paid breaks taken
- The wages paid each pay day
- Details of employment relations leave taken
- Details of annual leave taken
- Details of statutory holidays worked and days in lieu provided
- Details of salary deductions, such as PAYE and agreed superannuation contributions.
