The provisions of this chapter apply to all persons employed or working in any capacity or in any place whatsoever for one or more employers and regardless of the amount and nature of their remuneration or the form or validity of their contract.
When wages are paid, the employer provides the persons mentioned in article L. 3243-1 with a supporting document known as a pay slip.

Nor can this acceptance constitute a settled account within the meaning of article 1269 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
The employer keeps a duplicate copy of employees’ payslips or payslips issued to employees in electronic form for a period of five years.
The retention of pay slips may be waived to take account of the use of other means, in particular computerised means, under the conditions set out in the second paragraph of Article L. 8113-6.

The claim may relate to sums due in respect of the last three years from that date or, where the employment contract has been terminated, to sums due in respect of the three years preceding…
