An employee portal is an online employee engagement platform that puts a range of Payroll services at the employee’s fingertips. An employee portal enhances the employee service experience, which increases employee satisfaction and engagement levels.
The Employee Portal Access feature allows you to grant access to employees who need to view an employee file in your organisation. You can also use this feature to resend the relevant access invitation as well as delete an employee's access if it is no longer required.
Warning
Data will only flow from Employment Hero to your Payroll classic platform. In other words, this data connection is not bidirectional, and any changes made to it by an employee via the employee portal in the Payroll classic platform will not flow through to Employment Hero. We advise you to use Employment Hero as your source of truth and have employees make any needed changes via Employment Hero.

Troubleshooting
If you need to change your employee’s email due to a typo or no access to their old email, you can reset the email used for your employee's portal access by following the below instructions:
- Open your payroll file and select Payroll Settings > Employee Portal Settings > Access.
- Locate the relevant employee in the list, tick the check box next to their name and then select Revoke Access. This will remove the employee access through the old email address.
- You can now click on the pencil icon and enter the new email address.
- Once you have saved the new email address, tick the employee again and select Grant Access. An email invite will be sent to the employee's new email.
