The Paper Payslip is changing

As part of an internal change within IBM, new technology is being introduced to generate the paper outputs from ESR.  This means that with effect from May 2018, the ESR Paper Pay Advice will be changing.

The paper Pay Advice stationery will change to align with the format of the on-line pay advice available via ESR, resulting in the new Pay Advice being a direct replica of the on-line payslip.

• The proposed paper Pay Advice will be slightly larger in size (when folded and sealed), although will still fit within a window envelope.
• The pay advice will open in a different way to the current pay advice, having a ‘zip’ to tear off towards the top.

Although this is a small change, the way the new paper Pay Advice will open has the potential to generate employee queries; as such, IBM has contacted all Payroll Leads (and ESR Leads) to advise them of the proposed change and has confirmed that a further communication will be issued at the end of March 2018 to confirm the exact date of change, and which pay run will be the first with the new paper Pay Advice.

We are preparing internal communication tools that Organisations can use to help employees understand how to open the Pay Advice.  

Remember - you can opt out of receiving a paper Pay Advice.  You can access your on-line Pay Advice within ESR Self Service via www.my.esr.nhs.uk  and from 2nd April you can opt out of the paper Pay Advice via the updated Portlet .
