Communicating the Employee Portal w/Sample Email

Communicating the Employee Portal w/Sample Email

Via the Employee Portal, you can give your employees access to their own payroll, direct deposit information. Additionally, if you are a Time & Attendance user, employees can enter and approve their own time and view past time cards, run reports, and keep track of time off.  

For employees who do not already have a portal login, you will need to send an invitation to register for the portal. 

We encourage you to draft a letter or an email to your employees to explain how to log in and take full advantage of their employee portal. Use our example here, or craft your own:

Sample Letter to Employees
