An employee portal is an online employee engagement platform that puts a range of payroll services at the employee's fingertips. The Employee Portal Access Management feature allows you to grant access in bulk to employees who need to use the payroll self-service platform. You can also use this feature to edit an employee's access email and revoke access if it is no longer required.

Data flows one way from Employment Hero to your payroll classic platform, but not the other way around. Changes made in the payroll platform's employee portal will not sync to Employment Hero. Employers should use Employment Hero as the source of truth and ensure employees make updates there.
