Update employee profiles and change account emails

Available for the following HR plans: Free, Standard, Premium, Platinum
Available for the following user access levels: Manager    , Admin    

A manager or an admin may need to update employees' personal details, such as their account email, or home address. The Personal Details feature lets you complete these updates, with the changes ‌reflected throughout the entire HR platform. This means you only need to update those details in one place.

Change an employee's account email

Important

The manager or admin will do the first eight steps.

Helpful Hint

When reactivating a terminated employee, we recommend updating their account email before reactivating their profile. This way, they only need to access their new email address to confirm the change. If you reactivate them then change their email afterwards, they will need both their old and new email addresses to verify the change.

  1. Click the   People menu.
  2. Click the Employees List submenu.
  3. Select the employee whose account email needs resetting.
  4. Click the Personal details tab.
  5. Click the Edit button for the Account email field.

Since the account email change was made by a different user, the employee has to complete two verification checks. They need to do the following steps.

  1. Go to the inbox of your current email.

    All email verification messages come from "no-reply@employmenthero.com" and have the subject "Important! Verify the update to your Employment Hero Login."

  • Hi

    Can the email notification to the existing email be overridden as the employees is not active on the initial email they were setup on in Employment Hero.

    So they will not be able to verify -  "The employee will need to verify the email to confirm the changes."

    Is there a way around this?
