Digitalisation continues to advance and online solutions are now commonplace in working life as well. But what about the pay slip? Are employees allowed to access them online?
Basically, yes, employees are allowed to access their payslip online if the company offers this and the relevant data protection regulations are complied with. Delivery by e-mail or in a protected online portal is a common method of transmitting the payslip to employees nowadays.
However, some precautions must be taken to protect the employees' data. For example, the company should ensure that the payslips can only be accessed by authorised persons and that the transmission of data is encrypted. Employees should also be made aware that they should keep their access data safe and not make it accessible to third parties.
A good solution for online delivery of the payslip is e-Gehalt. This is a solution with payroll that can be provided in a secure online environment. Employees can view and download their payslips at any time and from any location.
e-Gehalt offers several advantages over the traditional paper payroll. On the one hand, it saves time and costs, as there is no need to send it by post. Secondly, it is more environmentally friendly, as no paper is used. In addition, the employee can view his or her payslip at any time and from any location, which is particularly practical if, for example, he or she works in a home office or is on a business trip.
Conclusion: Employees are allowed to retrieve their payslip online if the company offers this and the corresponding data protection regulations (GDPR) are complied with. A good solution for online delivery is e-Gehalt, which offers many advantages over the traditional paper payslip while carefully protecting employee data.
