Am I entitled to a payslip in Germany?
If your employer has handed you nothing, or the document looks suspiciously thin, here is what the law actually requires — from §108 of the Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung).
Every time wages are paid you are entitled to a payslip in text form, showing at least the accounting period and how the pay is composed — including the type and amount of supplements, allowances, other pay, deductions, instalments and advances. If nothing has changed since the last proper slip, the employer may skip that month's — a 'missing' slip after an identical month is normal. Source ↗
