Beau Nydel:
I work for a proper firm and get proper payslips - just how it should be.
I don’t give a shot how the pay slip comes as long as get the moolar payed into my bank. I’m salaried anyway so I get 12 payments a year and they’re all the same. Nights out and expenses are payed separately. I do check that but it’s never been wrong so I don’t need to really.
Back in 76, I started a new job in Birmingham. I came through the gate late on a Thursday morning and I was surprised to see quite a few women in and around the gatehouse. When I asked, I was told that they were waiting for their husbands to come out with their pay packets intact. The wife would open it and check it, then give the ‘old man’ his pocket money for the week.
Makes no odds how your pay slip comes now, on line or paper, mine never shows enough so quite disappointed with the bottom line I don’t ever look at them, I keep £50 in my wallet For myself and the rest of it is distributed by the wife. So long as I keep my £50 I couldn’t care less what my wages are.

Didnt you retire to Spain?
That was the plan , but due to this brexit fiasco we weren’t sure that buying a property in Spain , emigrating was a good idea , so we put the temigrating on hold but retired , thinking brexit was be sorted in March , but it’s still going on and my wife’s patience has run short with my all day drinking , so was going to do a couple of days agency , but not keen on agency so looking at 4 on / 4 off , Eaton milk tankers , yearsleys , yearsleys appeal as what I know , but bit of a treck there .
Knights of old are advertising through agency , 4/5 mins from house but 18.00 starts , 5 days , mon - fri
We will see , hopefully art 50 gets revoked soon and I can up still & emigrate

It does if you can’t get it to work , stobarts did this calling it my drive , but no one ever got it to work for me so it was just a guessing game whether wages were right , had they paid expenses , did they pay £150 fuel I paid on bank card at wick ( I didn’t know of company card , ring fleet ) , I’d rather a paper pay slip so I can check my wages are right

Why?
We got paper payslips every week up until a few years ago and I hated it. Every week another piece of paper I’d have to eventually feed through the shredder at home, total waste of paper.
It’s far more convenient getting it via online means in my opinion.
Rob22888 read my tag line and you’ll understand. I don’t do IT plus my fingers / hands are knackered so keyboards give interesting messages which continually need correcting. Had to come off ragsides last year cos couldn’t do the ratchets and straps any more.

Regardless of your physical or technological abilities by claiming that your firm is “a proper firm” for living in the last decade you are implying that all those that embrace modern ways are not “proper firms”.
That’s like claiming it’s only a proper factory if it has a steam whistle.
Sorry reef. All I meant by proper firm was they supply the materials to do the job and don’t expect their employees to supply their own paper and ink!

You think people print payslips?
Personally I stick all mine in a cloud stored folder. I can get them anywhere at any time. I certainly don’t print them off and retain them. I used to when I got paper ones. I’ve got folders full of them.

@Beau fair enough mate.
@toonsy tbf mate I had to print off a fair few when I applied for my mortgage last year so Beau’s not far off the mark.

That happened a lot in places I have worked, I never liked to see it but I suppose bills had to be paid before the ‘old man’ spent it in the pub or on the horses/dogs? I was reading recently of an actress (Billie Whitelaw) who’s father treated his wife and his mates in the pub on payday, then deducted the cost of her port and lemon from her houskeeping allowance! 
I always had a proper payslip but from the mid eighties the cash went straight to the bank.

I get mine emailed Thursday for pay on Friday. Password protected as others have said too.I went to a haulage firm in Hertford today and I’m near certain they were putting money in pay envelopes the old fashioned way.
Actual cash/money in envelopes?
Unusual at the least.
.
I know somewhere who paid nights out, cash in advance, until recently, but salary direct into bank.
Summat to do with big, tough, 'airy arsed truckers… keeping secrets from their bigger, tougher…wives.
When I was on for Brit European you got your pay paid directly in the bank,.and all your expenses and bonuses paid in cash when you went over to base, sometimes you had a month’s money to pick up.
Nice little earner as you then went and spent it on tobacco and wine and doubled up on it (and then some) when you got back to the UK …well some did, allegedlly. 
Don’t think toonsy quite got the gist of what I was trying to say. If I knew what cloud based storage was I might use it (every cloud having a silver lining so to speak) but I don’t so I’ll stick to my filing cabinet ta.
My understanding is…
It is not legal requirment that anyone has to have a bank account therefore, by law if you ask for it, your wages have to paid in cash to you.
If your company know in advance that you will be having nights out, they must if requested give you the night out money as cash in advance.

I don’t think that is true. Whether you are paid in cash or by bank transfer is down to what’s in your employment contract. If either party wants to change the payment method it would be a matter of negotiation between them. Same would apply on starting a new job.
As an aside, I recall from a previous TUPE transfer involving me that one of the contract terms the new employer can change unilaterally concerns the method of pay and also the actual payday.

There are companies who state in the application:
Required: TWO of the following THREE forms of ID - or we cannot offer you employment at this company.
(1) Full British Passport
(2) Full British Driving licence with no more than six penalty points
(3) Bank Statement less than three months old.
So… If you’ve not been abroad for a while, and DON’T have (1) - then you’ve GOTTA have (3) - or NO JOB OFFER.
