Make payslips password protected

HRStop lets you publish password-protected payslip files to your team. This adds a level of security, as the payslips cannot be opened without the passwords. There is also a Master Password option, which opens all the payslips.

---

To enable the option, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Control Panel → Settings → Payroll.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and under the option Payslips, enable the option: Make payslip password protected.

3. This lets you select Password 1, Password 2 and Master Password.

   •   **Password 1**: Select the password type from the drop-down and the password type selected would be entered to open the payslip. (1st Priority)
     

   • 		**Password 2**: Select the password type from the drop-down and the password type selected would be entered to open the payslip. In case the Password 1 is not mapped to the employee profile, then Password 2 shall be used to open the payslip.(2nd Priority)
     

     Example: PAN number is set as Password 1, and D.O.B as Password 2. The employee can open the payslip using Password 1, and Password 2 (i.e., D.O.B) works only if the employee does not have a PAN number mapped in their profile.

   • Master Password: This opens all the payslips.

4. Payslip footer: If you want to add a footer note to the payslip, update the content here.

5. Click the Update button.

All changes take effect instantly.

Note: If neither of the fields selected for Password 1 & Password 2 is defined for an employee, the employee's payslip opens without asking for a password.
