And if as if oft the case your pay role system does not have an inbuilt function to assess pay rises and create a mail merge to print letter for each employee for their revised remuneration?

Replace the system for one that does. Its relatively cheap and easy these days, especially compared to the size of a GDPR fine. Most systems are perfectly capable of applying a cost of living rise to most employees. There's no reason to extract the data to a spreadsheet to add 1 or 2%. Employees can get a login to go view their comp page.

And yes printing physical letters for such things is still a requirement, in some cases because of what is written in union arrangement

Then either kick out the union or force them to modernise. I don't want my data leaking because some dinosaur hasn't realised the 70's ended and the world is digital.

not all of your employees will have an email address or at least not one they wish to share with their employee

Set one up for them and assign it as their communication address. Simples. Leaking everyone's data because maude doesn't want to work email/computers or paranoid pete thinks he's smart playing games will only lead maude, pete and a whole other staff to the redundancy queue when the employer gets their balls sued off for perfectly avoidable breaches.
