We were approached by a client in China asking us to build online payslips for them. They operate payroll for many companies in China. We're releasing a system where employees get an SMS with their login details, and summary details of their gross and net pay. They can then login and view their detailed payslip online. I'd love to bring the solution to Europe or the US. We're based in Ireland. If you think your payroll provider might be interested let me know. Cheers, John Hi,

If only they'd use a design like yours...great idea. Yes I use Parasol as well and their payslips are completely incomprehensible – so bad that I’ve thought about leaving them.

That's not bad at all. In the US we have 15% withholding (half payed by employer and half by employee) for Social Security which is for pension and health benefits <b>after the age of 67</b>!!! Unemployment contributions, health insurance (if offered) and taxes are extra. According to Wikipedia the UK NI covers health insurance, unemployment insurance and pension. That’s not bad at all.

I'm pretty certain it shouldn't be. For administrative reasons I've been put on the 'BR' tax code which essentially means they're not sure how much I should be charged yet. I hope to get some of it back because currently they're taking nearly 35% Tax + NI. Here's a table of <a href="http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/nic.htm" rel="nofollow">UK National Insurance rates</a> but that's even more incomprehensible than my original payslip. @Marino I’m not sure why it’s that much.

Is that just for health care or it also covers old age insurance? Sorry as we discuss national health insurance in the US I got distracted by the cost of NI. 15% ???

You can see what's what at a glance. It can be a pain getting info together from payslips produced by different employers. Something as simple as this should be standard. This is so much clearer.

But I think the improvement in employee happiness justifies a little extra effort. As it happens Parasol send their payslips as PDFs so printing costs are not an issue.
