Payroll encryption

There is an option in the Payroll module that allows you to encrypt your employee's financial and banking information within the Payroll module. Only the financial details are encrypted, other non-sensitive details can still be viewed.

If a user who is not authorised to view the encrypted payroll data uses Crystal Reports or Microsoft Query to view payroll data, they will be able to view non-sensitive information such as employee names, but all financial amounts, tax file numbers and bank details will be displayed as NULL.

To initiate payroll encryption, you need two different payroll users, one to initiate the process and the other to confirm the details. The Synergetic system's administrator cannot be one of these users; they must both be standard Synergetic payroll users.

How to:

• Initiate the encryption process. See Initiating the encryption process.
• Confirm the encryption process. See Confirming the encryption process.
• Use payroll when it is encrypted. See Using payroll when the payroll is encrypted.
• Access encrypted payroll data. See Example of accessing encrypted payroll data.
