Salary slips are important documents, often used by organizations such as banks, tax authorities and pension funds. It is therefore necessary to keep them as much as possible and store them carefully. However, it often happens that these slips are lost and it is possible to request a duplicate from your former employer if necessary. How to proceed in order to carry out this request as soon as possible?
Although it is often feared, the loss of a payslip is common. However, there are possibilities to recover this precious sesame, regularly claimed by different types of organizations. You can therefore request a missing payslip from your former employer to obtain a copy. The Labor Code therefore obliges employers to keep salary slips for at least five years, except in the case where these slips are computer-generated.
However, your former employer is not always forced to send you the requested document again and other solutions should be found in this perspective. You thus have the possibility of turning to your pension fund, which has all the elements relating to your career. It is also possible to contact Urssaf since all employers provide this body with the salaries and contributions of all employees hired. Finally, you can also consult your bank statements with your bank and justify wages received later.
