BrightPay provides a web-based portal where employees can browse and download their history of payslips and other payroll documents, view their payroll calendar, including annual leave and parenting leave, and view their personal details.

The Employee Self Service Portal is enabled by default in BrightPay Cloud. We recommend reviewing the Settings in the Employer tab> Employee Portal. 

If you don’t wish to use the portal, you can disable it. 

There are two ways for an employer/bureau to set up an employee' access to self service portal:

1. Select all Employees to have access to Self Service Portal

1) Within your BrightPay organisation, open the employer you require.

2) Go to > Employer > Employee Portal

3) Choose 'Settings'.

4) Select 'Employer is available in the employee portal' to make any required changes and click 'Save'.

2. Give an Individual Employee access to Self Service Portal

1) Within your BrightPay organisation, open the employer you require.

2) Go to > Employees > Select an Employee > Edit Details

3) Choose the 'HR' tab.

4) Ensure an employee has an email address entered in their profile in order to enable self-service for this employee.

5) Select 'Enable self service' in order to allow the individual employee access to their self service portal and click 'Save'.

In order for employees to access the self service portal, they will need to create a Bright ID.

To invite new employees to use the Employee self service portal, send an invitation email by going to Employer > Employee Portal > More > Email Employee Portal Instructions to Employee(s)

The employee(s) will then receive an email with a link to set up their Bright ID. Once they have done this, they will be able to view payslips, documents and request leave (if enabled).

Note: There is no facility on BrightPay to email employees directly with a standard letter. You would need to add the letter as a resource and give access to the relevant employees on the Employee Portal.
