Communicating the Employee Portal to Your Employees

With the Patriot Software Employee Portal, you can give your employees access to their own payroll or direct deposit info. If you are a Time & Attendance user, your employees can enter and approve their own time and view past time cards, run reports and keep track of time off.  For employees who do not already have a portal login, you will need to send an invitation to register for the portal.  For more details, see Employee Portal Registration Access.

We encourage you to draft a letter or an email to your employees to explain how to log in and take full advantage of their employee portal. Use our example here, or craft your own:
