View answerDepartment has been providing electronic payslips to its employees for a number of years as part of the Employee Self Service (ESS) feature which is enabled by the Payroll System and provided through the existing Departmental Intranet. A limited number of hardcopy payslips are provided to employees in circumstances where an employee does not have access to ESS through illness, off-site assignment or not being connected to the Intranet network. Currently that number is 39 for the combined staffs of the Department of Health and the Department of Children and Youth Affairs for whom my Department provides a financial shared service including payroll.
