Instead of email, which is always a challenge to make secure, you could consider sending pay stubs and T4s to the employee's Canada Post epost account (www.epost.ca). All Canadians (and Americans) can create a free epost account and are able to receive not only their bills, but also their pay stubs and T4s. It is completely secure and is managed by Canada Post. It is a portal that the individual keeps for life. Solutions such as Payreq MyPay (www.payreq.ca/MyPay) make it easy for employers to send pay stubs and T4s via epost simply by uploading the PDF of pay stubs. For T4s, epost is particularly good for ex-employees who have moved; while their home address has changed, their epost account has not. No more returned T4s!

Is it possible to email items to someone's epost account?

Is it possible to email items to someone's epost account?

The short answer is no as there is no email address associated with a person's epost account that the outside world can email to. epost is built around the idea that the user invites external parties to send them documents. If the epost user does not "subscibe" to an employer for example, the employer (or anyone) has no way to send a document to the user.
