You can also select a row. If a payslip file exists, Plumm opens the payslip in a new browser tab.
Understand Password Hint
Password Hint is always shown as a column. It does not use a show/hide eye control on this grid.
The hint text depends on Admin > Payroll > Settings.
Enable Password Protection
The admin label is Enable Password Protection. Values are Enabled or Disabled.
Password To Use
Shown in admin when protection is Enabled. The dropdown options are:
- Initials and Date of Birth (NA19820325)
- NI Number (SW752285B)
- Custom
On My Payroll, Password Hint shows:
- No Password Needed
Enable Password Protection is Disabled, Password To Use is empty, or a Custom password has not been stored. - Initials and Date of Birth (NA19820325)
Password To Use is DOB. The PDF password is your first initial and last initial, then your date of birth as yyyyMMdd. The example in the product is NA19820325. If your name is Michael Caine and your date of birth is 14 March 1933, the password is MC19330314. - NI Number (SW752285B)
Password To Use is NI. The PDF password is your National Insurance number. The example in the product is SW752285B. - Password: {your custom password}
Password To Use is Custom and a custom password exists. The hint shows the actual custom password after Password: .
These My Payroll strings match the admin Password To Use labels for DOB and NI. They are not the same as the download helper strings Your initials and DOB (NA19820325) and Your NI Number (SW752285B), which are used only when loading a single payslip for download.
Downloading a payslip
Open the three-dot menu (⋮) on a row.
Select Download Payslip.
Plumm downloads a PDF. If the file name is missing, the browser may save the file as download.
If the payslip file is not ready, the download can fail with Payslip not generated yet.
You can also select the row to open the payslip in a new browser tab.
Downloading P11 Reports
