Detailed answer

BetterDesks lets admins store payroll documents for specific employees and keep them separate from general employee documents.

BetterDesks supports paystub, T4, and W-2 payroll documents. T4 documents are used for Canada, W-2 documents are used for the United States, and payroll document uploads are PDF-based today.

Employees can access their own payroll documents. Admins can manage payroll documents across the organization.

Example

After a pay run, an admin uploads each employee's paystub as a payroll document. At year end, Canadian employees can receive T4 PDFs and US employees can receive W-2 PDFs through the same payroll document area.
