Q1. Can an IT guy who has access to the filesystem check the payslips?

If the system is on our cloud, then the IT guy cannot do so as he will never have access to our filesystem. If uKnowva is hosted on-premise, then technically speaking an IT admin can actually access the complete filesystem, but he/she would never be able to figure out the folder and file paths as they are all encrypted.

Q2. Are the payslips PDF password protected?

This is in our roadmap as on July 2019 and should be available in next release preferably by Aug 2019

Q3. Are the access to payslips logged?

Yes, by default any document created on the document repository system in uKnowva has logs attached to it which shows you who accessed the file when and also what action was performed. Check this link for more details on logs: https://docs.uknowva.com/how-to/general/230-how-to-check-the-logs-of-any-file-in-uknowva

Q4. Are payslips backed up? If yes, how frequently and who has access of the backup and how can it be restored?

If your instance is running on our cloud, then the payslips will be backed up with the routine file system backup which happens once per week. The backup is then stored in a cold storage which is accessible only to the Infrastructure head @ uKnowva. These backups can be restored in case a customer requests for the same by sending an email to helpdesk[at]uknowva[dot]com
