I have recently started a new job where the purpose is to bring the bookkeeping in house. Currently this is outsourced and the Comapny uses SAGE. My employer is emailed the payslips but had not given them or P60s to its staff but simply filed them. I assume that all employees should be given these. Does the employer have to retain copies? Does SAGE keep copies on the system or generate reports which can be kept instead of retaining the payslip?
By law all employees have to be provided with wage slips and P60s so your employer does need to hand these out. I'm surprised none of the staff have complained! Employers do not need to keep copy wage slips.
Sage can generate a history report for each employee which will show what they've been paid each period. The company doing the payroll should be either keeping historical records, or forwarding them to your employer at the end of each tax year for safe keeping.
