Short answer: A generic payslip makes staff wonder if payroll is legit. Set your payslip profile with logo, signature, tax ID, and brand colour, then publish branded PDF, CSV, or PNG slips after each run. Staff see them in the portal; you look like the company they signed up for.
Sound familiar?
Your new hire needs a payslip for a rent application. The PDF says "Salary Payment" with no logo. They hesitate to show their landlord, and you spend an hour in Canva trying to fix what should have been automatic.
Why branding matters beyond aesthetics
Branded slips:
- Build trust with staff and third parties (banks, landlords)
- Show employer name, tax ID, and period clearly
- Reduce "is this real?" messages after every pay day
- Match the professional image you sell to customers
Set up once, use every month
- Open payslip profile in Staff Pay settings
- Upload your logo and optional signature
- Add company legal name, address, and tax ID
- Pick a brand colour that prints cleanly
- Run payroll and publish slips to the staff portal
Formats include PDF (most common), CSV for finance, and PNG when someone needs a quick image.
Picture this
A boutique agency pays eight staff monthly. After adding their logo and emerald accent, every slip matches their client-facing brand. HR stops forwarding Word templates; staff download from the portal themselves.
Do this today
- Use a square or horizontal logo that stays sharp when small
- Keep tax ID and period visible above the fold
- Publish slips same day as pay
- Tell new hires where to find slips in the staff portal
