Staff Portal: What Employees Can Do on Staff Pay | Staff Pay blog

Short answer: Your team should not DM you every month for payslips, tax lines, or "did my salary land?" Invited staff get a linked workspace to view payslips, pay history, submit payment requests, log work, clock in (if you enable it), and see reports you allow. They cannot change bank details alone; they request, you approve.

Sound familiar?

Saturday morning. Three staff message you: "I need my payslip for a loan." "My tax line looks wrong." "Did you change my bank?" You became HR support instead of running the business.

What changes when staff can help themselves

After invite, they see:

  • Companies they work for in one linked workspace
  • Payslips you publish after payroll
  • Pay history with downloadable receipts
  • Notifications you enable (email or in-app)

Employers who publish slips the same day as pay cut "where is my slip?" messages sharply.

Less "can you pay me for this?" in private chat

Staff can request payment for approved expenses, contract milestones, or other events your policy allows. You approve or reject, then pay through normal flows. Clear rules beat endless DMs.

Field teams and attendance without paper registers

Where you enable it:

  • Work logs for hours or completed tasks
  • Clock in/out on shift
  • Geo clock-in on worksites you define

Useful for shops, warehouses, and sites where attendance ties to pay. Pair with approval rules so requests are not automatic.

Bank fraud starts with silent account swaps

Staff cannot edit payout bank accounts on their own. If they change banks:

  1. They request the update
  2. You verify and change the record
  3. Next pay uses the approved account

That blocks the classic "please pay my new account" scam.

Do this today

  • Invite staff after the contract is signed
  • Publish the first payslip with first pay
  • Explain payment request policy in onboarding
  • Turn on clock-in only if you will review attendance
  • Set notifications so pay alerts arrive without you forwarding screenshots

When it clicks

Staff get answers at midnight without waking you. You keep control of money and bank details. HR questions shrink to real exceptions, not repeat requests.
