Issuing Payslips
Once you have enabled Self-Service for your employees, there are four different ways to send them their payslips.
Release Payslips to Self-Service¶
All payslips that are part of a pay run can automatically be released once Self-Service is enabled. Should you decide to not release them when creating the pay run, do not tick the Automatically release payslips to Self-Service box.
To do so at a later stage:
- Go to Pay Runs.
- Click on the dropdown arrow next to the pay run date.
- Click on Self-Service Release > Release.
When will the “Automatically release payslips to Self-Service” checkbox appear?¶
The checkbox will appear:
- On the first pay run for each period.
- If the box is not ticked, and the pay run is deleted and then recreated.
When won’t the “Automatically release payslips to Self-Service” checkbox appear?¶
The checkbox won’t appear:
- If the box is ticked, and the pay run is deleted and then recreated.
- If the box was not ticked, and the payslips were manually released to Self-Service (as seen in the screenshot above), and the pay run was subsequently deleted and then recreated.
Email Payslips¶
When payslips are released to Self-Service, employees receive an email notifying them of the release. You can choose to have a PDF copy of that payslip attached to these email notifications. This can be set up as follows:
- Go to Employees > Self-Service > Settings > General.
- Tick the Attach payslips to emails on the Self-Service release box.
Password protection
If you wish to encrypt payslips sent via email with a password, tick the Enable password protection for attached payslips (using employee identity numbers or birthdates) box. The password used will be the employee’s identification number (ID) or, if no ID number is recorded on their profile, their date of birth (YYYYMMDD) will be used instead.
- Click Save.
Download Payslips¶
You can download the payslips in PDF form. Follow these steps:
- Navigate to Pay Runs, and go to the relevant pay run.
- Click on All to download all payslips for the entire pay run.
- You can also click on a specific Pay Point to download all payslips for that pay point.
In the article linked below, you can find out how to download payslips in bulk, within a specific date range, pay point, or pay frequency, and with password protection.
Print Payslips¶
You can print payslips for your employees in A4 format and on self-sealing stationery. To do so:
- Click on Settings > Payslip.
- Tick the Format for self-sealing confidential stationery box.
- You can also tick the Keep ID numbers confidential box to hide the ID number from the payslip.
- Click Save.
Follow the steps to download as mentioned above.
