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 portal. You can also use this feature to edit an employee's access email and revoke access if it is no longer required.
