The meaning is a straightforward compound: a small paper ('slip') showing pay, which learners can derive from the components.

Etymology

The word payslip is a simple compound of pay ('money you get for work') and slip ('a small piece of paper'), so it means a small paper about your pay. That's why a payslip is the paper that shows how much you earned and the amounts taken off, like tax or insurance.
