Employee Self-Service FAQs (2024)

How do I enable Remote Time Entry for an employee with an existing Employee Self-Service portal (or Employee Self-Service for an employee with Remote Payroll)? Does the employee need two separate portals?

No, the employee does not need two portals. To combine the functionality of both services, use the same first name, last name, and email address for both the employee record (which is used for the Employee Self-Service portal) and the NetClient CS account. The employee must use different login IDs for Employee Self-Service and Remote Payroll, but they can use the same password.

If an employee works for two different companies, do they need separate portals for each company, or will they be combined?

Yes, the employee will need a separate portal for each company. Even if the employee's name and email address are the same for both companies, we cannot combine the two Employee Self-Service portals. The employee won't be able to use same email as a login for each portal. Login portals must be unique.

How do I send payroll checks to an employee's portal?

Accounting CS will send check stubs to an employee's portal when the employee's payroll checks are printed for the client or when a new handwritten check is added for the employee. Changes to existing checks, including voiding or deleting the checks, or modifying an existing handwritten check, will also be sent to the employee's portal.

If I enable Employee Self-Service in the middle of the year, will all previous payroll checks be available on my employees' portals?

No, only paychecks entered after Employee Self-Service was enabled will appear on the portals. If the paycheck stub includes a year-to-date section, it will include the payroll history, even if the check is not on the portal. If any checks were deleted and then re-entered, those checks will also appear on the employee's portal after Employee Self-Service is active.

Why don't my payroll checks and tax forms show up on my Employee Self-Service portal?

There are a number of settings that could cause this. For more information, read our help topic: Payroll checks or tax forms not appearing on Employee Self-Service portals.

Can my employees view their paycheck stubs, W-2 forms even though another person enters time for all employees?

Yes, if a Remote Payroll user enters time for any employees, the employee can view their paycheck stubs and tax forms through Employee Self-Service. For more information, read our help topics: Remote Payroll setup and overview, and Employee Self-Service overview.

Can my employees enter their own time?

Yes, you can enable Employee Time Entry for any employee who uses Employee Self-Service. The employee can then enter their own time in Employee Self-Service.

Can my employees view paycheck stubs and tax forms even though they don't use Remote Payroll or enter their own time?

Yes, if you enable Employee Self-Service for the employee, they can see their paycheck stubs and tax forms even if they don't enter their own time or no one enters it for them.

I enabled Employee Self-Service for my employees, and the employees activated their portals via the registration email. Why can't the employees enter their own time?

When you enable Employee Self-Service for an employee, that enables the employee to see their paycheck stubs and tax forms. To give employees the ability to enter their own time, you must enable Employee Time Entry for the employee.

Can I delete my employees portal?

No, employee portals cannot be deleted; instead, they can be disabled. When you disable Employee Self-Service portal for an employee, the application does not delete the employee's portal. The portal remains, but the employee cannot access it. Review the Disabling the Employee Self-Service features for an individual employee section in the Employee Self-Service overview help topic for details.
