I want to ask for a copy of my payslip. What should I do?

Payslips are given every month to teachers and division personnel through SDOs. Please check with your SDO.

I already received my payslip but I still need one more copy. Am I still allowed?

We use a special paper to print payslips. Re-printing it incurs time and resources. Because of this, the region requires a certification from the school head and attestation from the Division Administrative Officer stipulating the purpose of the request for payslip. Depending on the reason and the nature of the request, the Payroll Services Unit may or may not grant your request.
