5. Likewise, enter a description to accompany the P60 if desired, by manually typing this in the box provided or using the smart text facility.

If you would like to password protect the P60s, simply tick the box provided. Employee passwords must be entered beforehand within their HR section in order for the P60 to be password protected on receipt. Password protection is recommended if the recipient is not in a secure environment when they receive their P60 and will ensure that the P60 can only be viewed when the password is entered.

When ready to email the P60s, simply click ‘Send Emails’.
