Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why haven't I received my payslip via internal mail?

 Answered: Generally, the salaries office would send out a hardcopy of payslip to employee's postal address. However, there seems to be a trend that employees are encouraged to print out their own payslips from the web by logging in your employee ID plus a "s" at the front (e.g. s1234567) and your unipass. Then, click on the left hand side menu on one of the buttons stated "For Employees", and from there you can print out your own payslip.

2. How should I know whether I can claim for the work I have done or not?

 Answered: If you have been allocated officially, your name and hours of working  per week should be on my list. You should have received a formal letter about the hours allocated to you at the beginning of the session. Then you should be able to claim for the hours you have done within the allocation. Anything other than that, you should check with Dr. Ambi or me first.

3. How come a large amount of tax has been deducted from my last payment?

 Answered: You may be under one of the following situations:
    a. You haven't submitted your Tax File Number to the Salaries Office yet.

4. What is RCD# in the claim form? How should I fill in it?
