The Employer Dashboard gives an overview of the number of employees, the latest pay period finalised and amounts due to HMRC, upcoming leave and any employee requests that are outstanding,

 

 

 

On the Dashboard the user has shortcuts to access areas of the Client Portal quickly. The option to view employer's information can be accessed by the shortcut 'View Employer Details' or by selecting the Employer tab at the top. This will bring the user to the View/Edit Details section for the Employer where the user can access other areas such as the employer calendar and to manage users.
