The PSSC system - Online payroll for the RDF

 

Since October 2017 reservists have no longer received a printed payslip when carrying out paid training. All payslips and other documents, such as your annual P60 from the Department of Defence, can only be accessed online via an account with your Payroll Shared Services Centre (PSSC).

​

There were previously 18 payroll centres for processing the payroll of Government employees. These were consolidated and integrated into one payroll shared service operation by the PSS based in 3 locations (Galway, Killarney and Tullamore). The PSS centre which administers RDF pay is based in Galway.

​

This guide is intended to ensure that all RDFRA members know how to access their payslips and other documents.
