 Controller:

public with sharing class PayrollPeriodPdfController{
    public Payroll_Period__c payroll{get;set;}
    public Id payId {get;set;}
    
    public PayrollPeriodPdfController(){
    	
payId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Id');
    	payroll =[select id,Name, Additions__c, Allowance__c, Benefits__c, Bonus__c, Commission__c,Employee_Detail__c, Employee_Detail__r.name, Fixed_Deduction__c, Gross_Pay__c, Notes__c, Overtime__c, Salary__c, Wages__c from Payroll_Period__c where id =: payId];
    
    }  
   
}

 the generate PDF link call the page like this in your VF page:

<table align="right">
<tr>
<td style="color:Black;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;">
<apex:commandLink action="{!PayrollPeriodPdf}" value="Generate PDF" target="_top">
<apex:param name="payId" value="{!payroll.id}" assignTo="{!selPeriod}"/> 
</apex:commandLink>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

 In your controller:

public PageReference PayrollPeriodPdf(){
        
        PageReference p = page.PayrollPeriodPdf;
        p.getParameters().put('id',payroll.Id);
        
        p.setRedirect(true);
        return p;
        }

ya we can do that without object creation. By using {get;set;} property we can get the values from VF page to controller and save it as a record. from that we can also fetch the data to generate PDF.
