Payroll sensitive-file transfer review
Review file transfers to an outside payroll support team for destination, access, receipt, and removal evidence.
Payroll handoff readiness check
Use this table before a provider or Filipino payroll support worker receives access.
| Work area | Ready to hand off when | Owner check |
|---|---|---|
| Destination | The destination is approved and access is named. | The owner confirms recipient scope. |
| Content | The file contains only needed fields. | The owner confirms minimization. |
| Receipt | Receipt and later removal are dated. | The owner confirms both events. |
Review the transfer path before sending
A payroll file transfer has at least four decisions: where the file goes, who can access it, which fields it needs, and how receipt is confirmed. Record those decisions before upload. A successful transfer message does not prove the recipient had the right access.
The support specialist can prepare the packet and verify the destination against the approved list. Sensitive exceptions and changes should stay with the authorized owner.
- Check destination.
- Limit fields.
- Name recipient.
- Record receipt.
Close the temporary access
After the receiving owner confirms the file, remove temporary access or follow the documented retention rule. Record the removal rather than relying on a general permission review months later.
Review the transfer after the cycle for unnecessary fields, duplicated copies, or unclear ownership.
