Email payslips
This feature allows the seamless email of payslips to employees directly from the payroll to the employee.
This email facility does not use your own Email account to send these payslips, they are sent directly via the Thesaurus server, without the requirement for the sender to access their email account.
Therefore a list of emailed payslips is not created, for this reason the employer should add their email address to their company details to whom a copy of each emailed payslip will be sent.
To set up this carbon copy (cc) email address go to:
File> Amend Company Details>
Enter the email address, this can be amended at any time.
To set up the email address of an employee to which the payslip will be emailed go to
Employees> Add/Amend Employees>
Select the employee
Enter the email address to which the employees payslip will be emailed.
Enter a password agreed with the employee in order to secure the payslip upon delivery.
