My Department implemented a system of online payslips a number of years ago. Since then the vast majority of the 1,300 staff paid by the Department access their payslips electronically. However, approximately 85 staff per week, receive paper payslips as they do not have access to the electronic system. The cost of issuing these hard copy payslips to staff by my Department was approximately €500 in 2013 and €500 in 2014.
