Where can I find the archived payslips?

To view or download the original payslips created the first time you ran payroll;

  1. From the left, choose Documents, then Employee documents.

  2. Open the Archived payslips folder, then the folder for the relevant month.

    The name of each payslip file includes the date and time the payroll was originally run.

Where can I find the archived documents?

To view or download the original documents created the first time you ran payroll:

  1. From the left, choose Documents, then Company documents.

  2. Open the Archived company documents folder, then the folder for the relevant month.

    The folder includes payment files, journals and pension upload files.
