Requirements of electronic payslips

patman99

When you next go into work, access the front page of the intranet portal where your payslip is stored, then make a note of the web address.

Try entering the same address on your home PC to see if it brings-up the same page and if it does, can you use your works login details to get in and access your payslips.

If it is not possible, then you and your colleages need to have words with HR about the need to be able to access and store/print your payslips independent of the company intranet as the Law requires that you store your payslips for 6 years.

While it may well be legal it seems rather shortsighted to only be able to view the payslips from work computers and to not provide any method of printing them. That means that someone who leaves employment has no access then to payslips from their period of employment, and in the case of the current tax year the only record they would have access to is their P45, which I don't think is good enough.

I agree. And if you've got a query on what's on the payslip, only being to see it from a work computer doesn't strike me as helpful.

worth trying, sounds truly daft to me!

Since 2010/11 P60s can be given electronically. HMRC themselves provide them electronically.

Employers can only give electronic P60s if the employee agrees to it

Not a sensible way to treat your financial records, but highly unlikely that there is any such law as patman describes so I don't think the rozzers will be knocking on your door .

I can access them anytime, electronically :-)

If not print access available (v odd), maybe take a photo of screen?

And what happens when you leave your current job, do you retain your access? I wouldn't in mine, so I save a copy of the payslip onto my computer and also print it, the space taken up is negligible.

I'll worry about that if and when it happens, cant imagine a scenario where one would need payslips going back 6 years

we have electronic payslips at work, if its an 3rd party doing them, you can login at home.

see this as an example, it would be stupid not to allow you to print them off, especially if you need it for documentation for anyone
