To password-protect emailed payslips, you need to ensure that when emailing payslips, the option to password protect the email attachments is checked.

Additionally, employee and employer passwords should be set under the 'Employees record > HR/other' and 'Employer tab > Client details' sections, respectively.

Note: It is not possible to password-protect individual employer files or payrolls in BrightPay Cloud. Password protection is only available for emailed payslips.

How do I set a password for an employee’s payslip in BrightPay Cloud?
Go to Employees > select the employee > HR tab > enter or update the payslip password in the relevant field. This password will be required to open any password-protected emailed payslips for that employee.

Please note: there is no way to automatically set a password for an employee, it needs to be entered within the HR section of the employee's record. If you are importing / updating employees' details via csv file, 'document password' is a field that can be imported. If you need to change employee(s) passwords to a different format, you can do so manually in the HR section or bulk import the change using a csv file.
