Password Protected E-Payslips Using Employee NRC

Harvester can password protect PDF E-payslips that are sent to employees by email. HOW TO TURN PASSWORD PROTECTION ON Go to Settings and then Company Settings. Look for Password Protect E-Payslips. No - normal PDF This is the default setting. E-payslips are emailed as normal PDF files without an opening password. Yes - use employee NRC as password When this option is selected, emailed PDF payslips are password protected using the employee's NRC number, with the / characters removed. Example: If the NRC is 123456/78/9, the PDF password is 123456789. The email tells the employee to use their NRC without the / characters, but Harvester does not place the employee's actual NRC or actual password in the email message. IMPORTANT The employee must have an NRC saved under Edit Employee. If password protection is switched on and an employee has no NRC, Harvester will not send that employee an unprotected E-payslip. WHICH E-PAYSLIPS ARE PROTECTED? The setting applies to PDF payslips sent by email, including emailing a single payslip and the batch E-payslip sending options. For larger batches, use Email All Payslips Safely. Harvester sends these in smaller batches while the page remains open. WHATSAPP AND MANUALLY DOWNLOADED PDFS The Password Protect E-Payslips setting applies to emailed E-payslips. A PDF that you manually download from the Individual Payslip page for printing or for manual attachment to WhatsApp is a normal PDF and is not password protected by this email setting. When using WhatsApp, first download the PDF, then click Open WhatsApp & Attach PDF and manually attach the downloaded payslip before sending.
