Do staff need to sign a record after they have gotten their salary?

[Kross]

An organization has asked all the staff that just got paid to come sign a record book acknowledging that they have received their salary for that month. Is that really necessary? Why do think it is necessary to sign acknowledgement after getting your pay?

Yes, receiving their salary, need them to acknowledge receipt and confirm the accuracy of their payment.

It is important to require the staff to acknowledge receipt of their salary to avoid conflict or misunderstanding. Here, a lot of companies already automatically transfer monthly salary to the staff's bank account. The transfer made have records. In this way, there is no need for the staff to sign a receipt.

That's right as a payroll procedure, employees need to sign even though their salary will be transferred via bank, employees also have the right to receive salary details.

In the event of any discrepancies or disputes regarding the salary, the signed record can be used as evidence

Yes this is your personal record to help you track who you have paid and when they where paid as well.

There may be reason for that. Maybe, the accountants and manager use to falsify or breach some payment procedures of the company. I think the step is to keep everything transparent and in check.

I have no idea, but it's good that you ask this because thanks to your post and the other comments, those who need this will be informed and know what decision to make.

A staff can easily accuse an organization of non payment. That's why they need to acknowledge that they have been paid each time they get paid.

I always signed that the salary is received by me and I include the date and amount. It is a standard procedure for keeping records in a business organisation.
