What can you use payslips for?
I have a colleague that is very obsessed with payslips, he always asks for them from HR the moment they are printed (literally waiting outside while the printer is running) and is very eager to get hold of them.
Having never had a use for them in my life, are they needed for getting payday loans or similar? would be interested to know as he seems to be doing something with them and won't tell us what...

Perhaps he's claiming some sort of benefit and needs them to prove his earnings? Maybe he has some sort of financial problem and again, needs them to prove earnings. Maybe he just like to make sure he has them to file away, in case he ever needs them (applying for a loan/changing bank accounts etc.)?
Maybe the rest of you are just bad record keepers, because it doesn't seem particularly odd to me that someone would want to collect them.
Alternatively, he's getting paid a **** load more than the rest of you and doesn't want to chance his wage slip getting into the wrong hands.

Without going into the finer details here, I need to keep all of mine to provide annual proof of earnings. They got quite the shock when they realised I was paid weekly.
Have you come out and directly asked him? It could be he is just very OCD about record keeping, or if he doesn't want to say, he might be embarrassed. I would just forget about it personally.

I keep a few years worth for tax purposes. Recently changed mortgage (HSBC) and had to send three months worth to them for proof of earnings.
But yeah other than that when I'm done with them they are used to get the wood burner started Got all my P60s from the start of my employment though

As someone who has a variable monthly wage due to additional on-call hours, irregular overtime etc., I always check my monthly payslip without fail.
There have been a few times now where I have been underpaid for additional on-call & overtime; and there have also been times where I have been overpaid and payroll have clawed back the overpayment. Without checking the payslip I would probably have spent that money which wasn't mine to spend.
There have also been a few times where my tax code has been incorrect due to idiots within payroll and payroll outsourcing etc.
I was never one for being too bothered about payslips until I noticed the first cockup. Now it's standard procedure.
