01 · Context
Digital payslips by default — a regulatory shift, overnight.
Securibox needed a product to support France's 2017 electronic payslip norm — built on its existing document collection, parsing, and secure delivery solutions — while ensuring confidential, long-term access.
The regulation authorised employers to issue payslips in electronic format by default; employers must inform employees but do not need permission to switch. Employees retain a legal right to opt out and request paper. The product had to make both sides of that equation feel equally clear.
The design question:
A platform-built portal that inherits trust from Securibox's existing solutions, rather than a product re-engineered from zero under a regulatory deadline.
How do we answer the 2017 norm — digital payslips by default, employee opt-out for paper — with a product that guarantees secure, personal, and long-term access?
02 · Key decisions
Decisions that turned a regulation into a trustworthy product.
Reuse the platform, don't rebuild it
Securibox solutions mapped onto the payslip use case.
Identified how existing Securibox document and secure delivery solutions could serve the payslip use case — collection, parsing, and digital access. The platform's existing capabilities meant RH could ship within the regulatory window without re-implementing secure storage or PKI from scratch.
Norm and user needs, mapped in plain language
Legal framework translated into product obligations.
Mapped the 2017 legal framework: default electronic, employee opt-out right, employer obligations for monthly delivery. Translated each obligation into a product behaviour the employer and employee can both verify directly in the portal.
A portal for SMEs and their employees
RH portal experience — trust-first tone end to end.
Designed the RH portal on top of Securibox — secure document delivery, intuitive access to the digital payslip — for French SMEs and their employees. Trust-first tone and error states tuned for moments where access or consent fails.
03 · In practice
The decision that let trust ship with the regulation.
Edge cases & resilience
Built on existing Securibox solutions — speed without starting from scratch.
The 2017 French norm required digital payslips by default. Securibox needed a product fast.
Building from scratch would miss the regulatory window. Employees needed to trust the product from day one.
Existing document collection and secure delivery capabilities could serve the payslip use case directly.
Designed the RH portal on top of Securibox's existing solutions — secure delivery and access through the platform's capabilities.
Accelerated delivery. The product inherited trust and security from the platform it was built on.
