You can view but not save. Quote:

"Please note that in order to help you protect your personal data
staff are NOT permitted to save their ePayslips to any company network
drive or local drive (this includes your work home drive, c-drive or
desktop)"

Doesn't say.

Not a bad idea.

No. Handed out on payday.

"We're trying to help you from yourself".

If you are viewing the payslip with your browser, where does the temporary
cache reside? For 99.999% of people, that's on their local disc. So to
strictly adhere to their requirements, you can't view the payslip using a
work computer.

Mine is simply a print out anyway, except it's done by the finance
department. No headed paper. I could knock up a similar version in any
word processing package and put in whatever values I liked.

I'm disinclined to take security worries seriously from someone who
refuses to use ATM machines.

Many, many small business use third parties to run their payroll for
them. So it's already being done 'outside the corporate system', and
in many case the data will be being sent to the third party over the
internet anyway. Probably as an Excel attachment to an email, in some
cases. And then the final pay slip will be sent by that paragon of
secure carriage, the Royal Mail.
