GENERATION OF PAYSLIPS AND EMAILING THE SAME TO EMPLOYEES

[PHIRIM]

Dear forum members,

We have a database that has been working very well to generate payroll reports including payslips. We have been printing these payslips but a need has arisen for us to start generating them and at a click of a button, admin sends the same to all employees.

Kindly guide me, i'm a novice and ready to learn

Thank you all in anticipation

Auto generation and sending of payslips to employees in the database

Dear Forum members, I have a database that we are using to generate payroll reports including payslips. So far, we have been printing them. What steps do i need to take to allow for generation of payslips, and at a click of a button, the payslips be sent to employees' email addresses? I thank...

instead of printing to a printer, print to pdf - you’ll need to provide a path and file name which will need some sort of unique id such as employee id and the period the payslip covers

The rest of it all depends on what your tables look like and contain.

Cross post noted - I’ll leave it to the other forum as I don’t want to duplicate suggestions.

I would just point the OP to the similar threads at the bottom of this thread

I thought I was having deja vue there for a moment, as I am sure this exact question has recently been asked?, presumably by another person, as bot this and their crosspost was only posted today?
NB, I have cossposted this post.

Edit: I believe this was the one I was thinking of.

@PHIRIM - you see comments in this thread about cross-posting. You have said you are a novice, so I will explain.

When you post the same question on two different sites, that is cross-posting. We strongly urge people to not cross-post, but we also understand that if you are not getting answers, you start "shopping around" to see if you can get better results. The problem with undiscovered cross-posting is that if you have done that, we have no easy way to know if your problem was solved and therefore might end up wasting the time of our volunteers to try to solve your problem independently of an already existing solution.

To mitigate this problem, if you DO cross-post but then include a link to the other article, we can at least see if you have an answer before we waste our time reinventing a wheel. If you at least notify us and post a link then it shows you are aware that you are taking up the time of volunteers who do not get paid for what they do.

As to your specific problem, I have a more political/government question for you. Some governments restrict sending private or personal information over unencrypted e-mail. Your IP address says you are from Zambia. Your location is not a problem with us, but we don't know the government regulations that protect your people's privacy. Please check with appropriate authorities to verify whether legally you CAN send personal data in the way you intended.
