How employee pay stubs are delivered to employees

Employees must receive their pay stubs in a secure and reliable manner. The platform supports multiple delivery methods, depending on how your system is configured: automatic email delivery or custom distribution via API.

Option 1: Default delivery (email from the system)

By default, the system handles pay stub delivery with no extra setup required.

  • Pay stubs are emailed automatically to employees after each payroll run

  • Each email includes a password-protected PDF for security

  • Employees do not need to log in to access their pay stub

  • This method ensures confidentiality and ease of use

Option 2: Custom delivery (handled internally)

Some organizations choose to manage pay stub delivery themselves. In these cases:

  • You may use your own email system, secure employee portal, or internal tools

  • This allows for greater control over timing, branding, or access policies

  • You must ensure pay stubs are distributed securely and in compliance with privacy standards

Option 3: API-based delivery

For a fully customized experience, you can use the API to deliver pay stubs through your own systems.

  • Build a secure employee portal or mobile app for access

  • Integrate pay stub delivery into an existing HR platform

  • Maintain full control over how and when pay stubs are distributed

Not sure which setup you have?

If you're unsure how pay stubs are currently delivered:

  • Speak with our development team to confirm whether delivery is managed by the system or internally

  • You can also help configure or modify an API integration if needed
