Good morning 

I responded to the announcement  on Thursday  02/11/2023 -  Employment Verification Services Overview  . I think the post might have been removed as I should have not responded to an announcement. I have taken the liberty of adding this to the general discussion.

Thanks for the shared document. We have noticed the prompt for SageId  login since Pastel Payroll 2024 Update 2 was released and installed. 

Your document however does not outline a few concerns for our clients, maybe you can elaborate so we have transparency.

1. When an Employer activates Employee Verification and although information is not shared at this point , it is however hosted in a location(database) before being shared again with for example a financial institute , in terms of POPIA, does the employee need to consent to this before this step is processed? I do understand consent is given to the financial institute to query this information later on.
2. What information for each data entity is collected ?
3. If Employment Verification is disabled on the employee masterfile, is all the employee records removed or will the record just stop appending?
4. If Sage sees it fit to request permission from employees , we might require a consent form shipped with the system.

Thanks again for your document, however I preempt that questions like these will follow this document when we send it out to clients.  As clients have become more aware of POPIA , behavior around employee data is starting to become more disciplined.

Hope to hear from you soon
