It is vital for businesses as well as individuals to keep a track of the salary that the employee gets. Record-keeping helps keep a proper track and avoids misunderstandings. For this purpose, each employee’s salary certificate is prepared.
A salary certificate is used as documentary proof of the salary paid to an employee. It contains various details about the salary, employment contract duration, allowance and other grants, and personal details about the employee.
These details are meant to show the amount of money being paid to the employee in return for his/her services for a company and indicate that he/she is a paid employer. An employee can request the HR department for the production of a salary certificate which is prepared on the company’s specific letterhead.
