Checking a Payslip Against Approved Timesheets

Full transcript with model answers
Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Let's check the payslip code against your approved timesheets, Mr Farahani. Which entry looks wrong for the pay period ending 11 October at our Auburn warehouse?
Model answer and marking points
آقای فراهانی، بیایید کد روی فیش حقوقی‌تون رو با برگه‌های ثبت ساعات کار تأییدشده‌تون تطبیق بدیم. برای دورهٔ حقوقی منتهی به ۱۱ اکتبر، مربوط به انبار ما در آبرن، کدوم مورد به نظرتون اشتباهه؟
What an examiner checks here:
- Mr Farahani addressed
- Check payslip code against approved timesheets
- Pay period ending 11 October
- Employer's Auburn warehouse
- question: which entry looks wrong?
Easy to miss: Keep 11 October as the pay period end date, not the payment date.
برای دوره‌ای که یازدهم اکتبر تموم شده، شش ساعت کار شنبه‌ام رو مرخصی بدون حقوق زدن. من اون روز توی انبار بودم و ساعت‌هام هم تأیید شده.
Model answer and marking points
For the period ending 11 October, my six hours of work on Saturday were recorded as unpaid leave. I was at the warehouse that day, and my hours have been approved too.
What an examiner checks here:
- Period ending 11 October
- Six hours of Saturday work
- Recorded as unpaid leave
- Was at the warehouse that day
- Work hours approved
Easy to miss: The six hours were worked but recorded as unpaid leave.

Interpret it aloud now →The code beside those six hours means unpaid leave in our payroll system. I need to compare the approved entries before deciding whether this record needs correcting.
Model answer and marking points
کدی که کنار اون شش ساعت اومده، توی سامانهٔ حقوق و دستمزد ما به معنی مرخصی بدون حقوقه. باید موارد تأییدشده رو با هم مقایسه کنم، بعد تصمیم بگیرم که آیا این سابقه نیاز به اصلاح داره یا نه.
What an examiner checks here:
- Code beside six hours
- Code means unpaid leave in payroll system
- Must compare approved entries first
- Correction depends on comparison
Easy to miss: A correction has not yet been confirmed as necessary.
تأیید سرپرستم توی سامانه هست. می‌تونم روی گوشی نشونتون بدم. من برای اون روز اصلاً درخواست مرخصی نداده بودم، برای همین این کد برام عجیب بود.
Model answer and marking points
My supervisor's approval is in the system. I can show it to you on my phone. I hadn't requested any leave at all for that day, so I found this code strange.
What an examiner checks here:
- Supervisor's approval in system
- Can show approval on phone
- No leave requested for that day
- Code therefore seemed strange
Easy to miss: Preserve the emphatic statement that no leave was requested at all.
Please show me the approval screen. Your payslip records a payment of $1,450, but that figure alone doesn't tell us whether the six hours were included.
Model answer and marking points
لطفاً صفحهٔ تأیید رو بهم نشون بدین. توی فیش حقوقی‌تون پرداخت ۱٬۴۵۰ دلار ثبت شده، ولی این مبلغ به‌تنهایی مشخص نمی‌کنه که اون شش ساعت هم حساب شده یا نه.
What an examiner checks here:
- Request to show approval screen
- Payslip records payment of $1,450
- Amount alone does not establish inclusion of six hours
Easy to miss: The $1,450 figure does not prove whether the six hours were included.
بله، هزار و چهارصد و پنجاه دلار هم به حسابم اومده. بفرمایید، این صفحه تأییده. اینجا اون شش ساعت رو کار عادی ثبت کردن، نه مرخصی.
Model answer and marking points
Yes, $1,450 has been deposited into my account too. Here you go, this is the approval screen. Those six hours are recorded here as ordinary work, not leave.
What an examiner checks here:
- $1,450 deposited into account
- Shows approval screen
- Six hours recorded as ordinary work
- Not recorded as leave on approval screen
Easy to miss: Distinguish ordinary work on the approval screen from leave on the payslip.
These timesheets show approved work hours, while the payslip shows leave. I'll ask your supervisor to confirm which entry was sent through to payroll for processing.
Model answer and marking points
این برگه‌های ثبت ساعات کار، ساعت‌های کاری تأییدشده رو نشون می‌دن، در حالی که توی فیش حقوقی مرخصی ثبت شده. از سرپرست‌تون می‌خوام تأیید کنه کدوم مورد برای پردازش به بخش حقوق و دستمزد فرستاده شده.
What an examiner checks here:
- Timesheets show approved work hours
- Payslip shows leave
- Will ask supervisor for confirmation
- Confirm which entry was sent to payroll for processing
Easy to miss: The supervisor must confirm what was sent to payroll, not merely whether the hours were approved.
باشه. فقط نگرانم مانده مرخصی‌هام هم اشتباه شده باشه. می‌شه یه نسخه از همین سوابق رو نگه دارین که بعد از اصلاح هم معلوم باشه اولش چی ثبت شده بود؟
Model answer and marking points
Okay. I'm just worried that my leave balances might be wrong too. Could you keep a copy of these records so that, even after a correction, we can still see what was originally recorded?
What an examiner checks here:
- Concern that leave balances may also be wrong
- question: can a copy of these records be kept?
- Original entries must remain visible after correction
Easy to miss: The leave balance error is a concern, not an established fact.
Yes, we'll keep the original entries and record any correction separately. If the wrong code affected your pay or leave balance, we'll check both during the review.
Model answer and marking points
بله، ثبت‌های اولیه رو نگه می‌داریم و هر اصلاحی رو جداگانه ثبت می‌کنیم. اگه کد اشتباه روی حقوق یا ماندهٔ مرخصی‌تون تأثیر گذاشته باشه، موقع بررسی هر دو رو چک می‌کنیم.
What an examiner checks here:
- Will retain original entries
- Will record any correction separately
- Condition: wrong code affected pay or leave balance
- Will check both pay and leave balance during review
Easy to miss: Preserve the condition: the code may have affected pay or leave balance.
ممنون. اگه اصلاح لازم باشه، یه فیش حقوقی جدید هم می‌خوام. اگه مبلغی طلبکار باشم، بهم می‌گین کِی واریز می‌شه؟ برای خرج‌هام باید برنامه‌ریزی کنم.
Model answer and marking points
Thank you. If a correction is needed, I'd also like a new payslip. If I'm owed any money, will you tell me when it will be deposited? I need to plan my expenses.
What an examiner checks here:
- Requests new payslip if correction needed
- Condition: any money is owed
- question: will you say when owed money will be deposited?
- Needs to plan expenses
Easy to miss: Neither the need for a correction nor an outstanding payment is confirmed.
Once the review is complete, I'll explain any adjustment and its payment date. You can collect a corrected payslip here if we need to issue one.
Model answer and marking points
وقتی بررسی تموم شد، هر تعدیلی که لازم شده باشه و تاریخ پرداختش رو براتون توضیح می‌دم. اگه لازم باشه فیش حقوقی اصلاح‌شده صادر کنیم، می‌تونین از همین‌جا تحویلش بگیرین.
What an examiner checks here:
- Explanation after review is complete
- Will explain any adjustment
- Will explain adjustment's payment date
- Corrected payslip can be collected here
- Issuing corrected payslip is conditional on need
Easy to miss: Do not turn the conditional corrected payslip into a definite promise to issue one.
خیلی خوبه، میام از همین دفتر می‌گیرمش. تأیید سرپرستم رو هم توی سامانه نگه می‌دارم. اگه اطلاعات بیشتری لازم شد، لطفاً بهم خبر بدین تا پیگیری کنم.
Model answer and marking points
That's great. I'll come and collect it from this office. I'll also keep my supervisor's approval in the system. If you need any more information, please let me know so I can follow up.
What an examiner checks here:
- Will collect payslip from this office
- Will retain supervisor's approval in system
- Requests notification if more information needed
- Will then follow up
Easy to miss: The employee will retain the supervisor's approval in the system.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- Payslipبگویید «فیش حقوقی» یا «برگه‌ی حقوق»؛ این معادل رایج و کاملاً قابل‌فهم در فارسی است.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
