Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In an Internet world where it seems like everyone has a smartphone, with online access to information replacing filing cabinets and paper, both current and former employees<\/a> expect that payroll-related<\/a> records will be easily available using either a hand-held device or a personal computer.\u00a0 However, the norm is for companies to eliminate system access immediately once employment is terminated, which requires information like final pay statements or annual earnings documents to be physically sent by mail using paper documents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many companies are currently exploring the option of providing terminated employees with access to view paycheck history<\/a>, with the possibility of also viewing year-end earnings statements and providing other self-service functionality for former employees.\u00a0 While it might be a nice convenience for a former employee, the question is whether creating a solution is worth the effort, when access might take place only once or twice over a 12-month period.<\/span><\/p>\n

iPollingTM<\/sup> Results Review<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Peeriosity\u2019s iPollingTM<\/sup> capability was recently used to understand if member companies provide access to terminated employees to view pay information, and, if yes, how that access is provided. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first question asked about the status of providing terminated employees with online access to view paychecks.\u00a0 The results show that 44% provide online access, 6% are considering the idea, and the other 50% have either decided not to provide access, or they haven\u2019t yet evaluated the idea for doing so.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next question in the poll looks at how access is provided.\u00a0 Interestingly, none of the responding companies are providing access using either a company Intranet site or a company-provided external website, with 100% of the companies that provide access do so using a third-party website.<\/span><\/p>\n
