Once your Total Rewards portal is configured, you must enable employee access. This article walks you through how to invite employees, manage their access, and understand the employee and manager experience.
Manage access
Navigate to (Configuration > Total Rewards > Employees).
You'll see three important columns for managing access:
Column | Description |
User Status | Indicates if the employee has been added to Compensation. Employees added as users can access only their own Total Rewards portal. |
Access | Controls whether Total Rewards access is enabled for the employee. Can be enabled/disabled at any time. |
Preview | Opens the employee’s Total Rewards portal in a new window for admin preview. |
Enable access
Preview the employee’s portal
Use the Preview column to confirm the employee's Total Rewards portal is displaying the correct data.
Enable access
Toggle on the Access setting for the employee to grant them access to their Total Rewards portal.
Enable or disable access in bulk
Use filters at the top of the Employees page to segment users (e.g. by pay zone).
Select multiple employees.
Click Edit Selected Employees, then choose Enable Access or Disable Access.
This is useful for onboarding large groups or temporarily restricting access during updates.
Employee experience
Employees receive a general invitation email when they’re added to Compensation (no mention of total rewards).
After logging in, they are directed to their Total Rewards portal.
No email is sent when access is enabled or disabled within the portal.
Manager experience
View their own total rewards: Managers can view their own portal in the navigation menu.
Viewing direct reports: If access is enabled, managers can go to the Employee Profile and click View Total Rewards to see the employee’s portal.
