To create an appointment letter and payslip for a freelancer or consultant working on a project as a non-salaried employee with a company, certain key elements need to be included in the documentation.

The appointment letter should clearly outline the terms of the engagement, including the project details, duration, deliverables, payment structure, and any other relevant conditions. It should also specify the freelancer's status as an independent contractor and not a salaried employee, to avoid any misunderstandings regarding employment classification.

When generating the payslip, it is essential to accurately reflect the payment agreed upon in the appointment letter. The payslip should include details such as the freelancer's name, project worked on, hours logged (if applicable), rate of pay, total amount due, and any deductions or taxes withheld.

By ensuring that both the appointment letter and payslip are comprehensive and transparent, you can establish a clear understanding between the company and the freelancer regarding their working relationship and compensation.

Dear Swish111,

The salary slips are issued to the paid employees only. Consultants or freelancers raise their invoice for the services they provide. Payments are made after checking the correctness of the invoice as per the contract agreement.

The role of the HOD is limited to checking the correctness of the invoice and forwarding it to the accounts department for payment.

Thanks,
