I am from Canada and I also found this confusing on my payslip.

WTD stands for Working Time Directive. It is a rule from the law here in the UK.

On your payslip, it is about your holiday pay. It is like our vacation pay in Canada, but a little different. The rule says that when you take a holiday, your pay should be your normal average pay. It should not be just your basic salary.

This is important if you work extra hours, nights, or weekends. Your holiday pay must include money for that work too.

So, the WTD payment is an extra amount on your payslip. It "tops up" your basic pay. It makes sure you get your average earnings when you are on your leave. This way, you do not lose money for taking a deserved break. It is a good thing for workers.

I had to ask my colleague about it. It is a UK thing. It is not something we see back home in Canada. I hope this explanation is helpful for you.
