Your employer may choose to pay you using cash, cheque, money or postal order, or through electronic funds transfer into your bank account. It is acceptable for your employer to pay you in cash as long as tax has been taken from your earnings and sent to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Generally, you should also be receiving super. You should check your pay slip each time you are paid to make sure this is being done. 'Cash in hand' is a term used to describe cash payments where tax has not been taken out - this is against the law.
