In our blog today, we want to share with you the importance of your employer being transparent when paying your salary so that you can check that you are receiving the correct amount according to the hours you have worked, and the benefits you receive. In addition, this can help you review how much is deducted from your salary for taxes and benefits to have more clarity about your economy.
Transparency in terms of salaries was a topic that was not previously discussed since some employers could, in this way, avoid giving accurate and real explanations to their employees as to why they were being deducted or paid an amount that was not the agreed in the contract when they started working for them. Also, no worker really knew the information and had no way to make claims.
However, nowadays it is a subject that is being talked about a lot and laws are even beginning to be created that oblige employers to provide a payroll receipt that clarifies wages, overtime, deductions, etc. so that each worker can review this information as soon as they pay you and be able to claim in case there is any irregularity.
This transparency will help workers receive fair pay and also help employers keep their accounts correctly. In addition, this will create a work environment where employees know they can trust their employers since they are showing them their pay information openly.
Finally, this new practice will help reduce discrimination within companies since wages must be equitable for all workers who are performing the same position.
In case you are not receiving what you deserve or believe that your employer is hiding something from you regarding your payments, do not hesitate to contact us to find out more information or start your claim. At Hernandez Law, we are not afraid to fight your employer for the justice you deserve.
