Invite an Employee to the Portal

The Employee Portal gives your employees 24/7 self-serve access to their own pay stubs, T4s, and vacation balance — no more emailing you for a copy of last year's T4. This page covers how to invite employees and manage their portal access from their profile.

📋 Inviting an Employee

  • Open the employee's profile and find the Employee Portal Access card.

  • Click Invite to Portal to send them an activation email.

    • Note: Invite active employees, or past employees who still need access to their historical pay stubs and T4s.

  • The invite link is valid for 60 days. If it lapses before they activate, you'll see Invite expired and can click Resend Invite.

  • Employees activate with no password — they sign in with Google, or request a one-time link sent to their email.

🔑 Understanding Portal Status
The Employee Portal Access card always shows one of five statuses:

  • Not invited — you haven't sent this employee a portal invite yet.

  • Invite sent — waiting to be activated. You can Cancel Invite here if you sent it by mistake.

  • Invite expired — 60 days passed with no activation. Click Resend Invite.

  • Portal active — the employee has signed in and can access their pay info any time.

  • Access revoked — you manually cut off access (see below). Click Re-invite to let them back in.

🔒 Revoking Access
You generally don't need to do anything when an employee is terminated — they can still sign in to view past pay stubs and T4s, which is exactly what they'll need at tax time.

  • Only revoke access if the employee's email changed in Province Payroll, or you suspect their account has been compromised.

  • Click Revoke Portal Access to cut off future sign-ins.

    • Note: Any session they're already signed into stays active for up to 30 minutes before it's fully cut off.
