The employee portal is one of our most used features with thousands of employees logging on every month to check pay slips, record timesheets and request leave. With so many users, we want to ensure we’re giving these clients the best user experience possible and these changes aim to address a number of performance, layout and usability issues with the old format. In addition, the new format allows for an improved overall layout which makes it easier for employees to use.

What’s changed in the employee portal?

There are a number of key changes that have been made in the new employee portal, however it’s important to note that all existing functionality will remain. Some functions may have changed slightly or appear differently, but employees will still be able to do all the things they were previously able to. The key changes to the employee portal are:

• Overall styling has been changed with a new modern design and consistent look and feel throughout the portal
• The navigation bar has been moved to the left and text has been replaced with icons
• Pages are now full width, rather than fixed width, allowing the layout to adapt for larger monitors
• The layout of certain pages will be optimised for easier use and navigation

Overall, the goal has been to improve the usability and design on the layout without changing the functionality
