Welcome to the Community, @East Kilbride Golf Club. Let me help you set a password for the employees payslip email on your QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll.
For security reasons, payslips are password-protected when emailed. Make sure you let your employees know that they will need to enter their unique password to open the document.
The password is eight characters, and made up of the following:
- First 4 letters of the employee’s surname (lowercase). If it's shorter than 4 letters use the complete surname.
- First 4 characters of the National Insurance number (lowercase). If the National Insurance number is not there, then the employee’s birth year is used instead.
If the employee’s surname is Smith and their National Insurance number is AB234455C, then their password would be smitab23. For surnames less than 4 letters, for example their surname is Or and their National Insurance number is AB345678C, the their password would be orab34.
You can save time with QuickBooks Workforce. It is the secure employee self-service portal where your employees can access their payslips from anywhere, at anytime.
