Renfrewshire Council

Accessing your online payslip

We have agreed with our trade union colleagues to move all employees onto electronic payslips by the end of March 2025.

Since the introduction of Business World in 2018, access to electronic payslips has grown significantly, with around 90% of colleagues now accessing the ERP-Business World allowing them to view payslips and P60s through the system. 

It was agreed as part of the transition plan to Business World, to continue supplying paper payslips for a short period until everyone could access them electronically. Currently around 3000 colleagues still receive paper payslips which are sent to their home address with more than 2000 of those colleagues regularly accessing the ERP-Business World.

If you unable to access your payslip electronically, either through a personal device or at a work location, please speak with your line manager to agree how they can support you to access it in the future.

If you have any questions, please speak with your line manager, or contact the People & OD team at hrpolicy@renfrewshire.gov.uk

How to view your payslip electronically

You don't need a computer to view electronic payslips—they can also be viewed on a tablet or smartphone.

Electronic payslips are formatted to look the same as the paper version so you will be familiar with the look and layout even though it's in an electronic format.

  1. Log-in to ERP-Business World
  2. Under Your employment tab, select Personnel information
  3. Click on the blue paper clip symbol within the personnel information screen
  4. This will open the documents window. From here you can click on any payslip or other document such as a P60 to view. Once the document is open you can use the arrow symbols to navigate through older/newer payslips.
  5. If you are using a mobile device with a touch screen to view payslips, please follow this guidance

Benefits of moving to electronic pay slips

The change will result in a significant cost saving for the council and will also help to support our Net Zero ambitions.

You can view your electronic payslip online right away. As soon as the payroll team has approved the current payroll run, your payslip is ready to view on Business World. This can be up to two days prior to being paid.

Paper payslips are often printed and posted to home addresses or manually distributed to colleagues in offices, stores, and depots. Switching to electronic payslips removes the risk that these coule be lost, misplaced, or sent to the wrong person.

You can still print paper payslips if you need to. With all your electronic payslips stored in one place, copies that are required for credit purposes can easily be printed off in the same format as the paper payslip.
