Frequently Asked Questions
Employer
We have many clients that used to deliver payslips using email but were having numerous problems with this.
- Employees were forgetting their user names and passwords
- Employees would attempt their password 3 times and get blocked from the system
- Email payslips were bouncing or being reverted to their junk folder
Due to these issues, employees would have countless payslip queries per month. Jem Payslips eradicates all of these issues using WhatsApp as the channel for delivery.
Jem HR offers a reporting module so you can track when an employee has received or read any form of communication (including their payslip). When an employee changes their number, they simply message the Jem HR WhatsApp chatbot using the new number, and reauthenticate. Our system will update their number automatically. Jem is also BCEA compliant.
