Can employees access paystubs, T4s, or W-2s online?

Yes. Employees can access their own payroll documents in BetterDesks when admins upload paystubs, T4s, or W-2s to their employee record.

Detailed answer

Payroll documents are stored separately from employee HR documents. BetterDesks supports paystub, T4, and W-2 payroll document kinds. T4 documents are Canada-specific and W-2 documents are US-specific.

Employees can view and download only their own payroll documents. Admins can upload and manage payroll documents across the organization. BetterDesks also lets teams control how much payroll document history employees can see.

Automatic employee notifications for newly uploaded payroll documents are not part of BetterDesks today.

Example

An admin uploads a PDF paystub for an employee after payroll is processed. The employee signs in to BetterDesks and downloads the document from their own payroll document area.

How BetterDesks helps

BetterDesks gives employees a self-service place to retrieve uploaded payroll documents while keeping access limited to the correct employee.
