When Using Employee Self Service (ESS)
If employees are registered for Employee Self Service (ESS), you can activate an e-mail notification informing the employee that their PDF Payslip is available. The e-mail notification will provide a link to access ESS. This functionality is activated on the Basic Company Information Screen.
Navigate > Config > Basic Settings > Company Settings > Basic Company Information > General
The e-mail notification will automatically be sent on the Pay Date as displayed on the Company Payslip Pay Date Screen.
Navigate > Payroll Cycle > Payslip Pay Dates

By closing a pay run manually, the system will no longer send out payslip e-mail notifications on the pay date.
An Example of an E-Mail Notification.
Once the employee has logged onto ESS, they will be able to view their payslip record from the Payslip View Screen. The employee will also be able to download or e-mail the PDF Payslip to themselves.
