The Staff Portal Pro / Solo

The Staff Portal (sweldo-staff.html) is a separate interface designed for employees โ€” not managers. An employee logs in with their PIN and can view their own schedule, attendance history, leave balances, and payslips. They can also file leave requests and check their own shift adjustments without having access to other employees' data or any payroll management functions.

Accessing the Staff Portal

1

The Staff Portal is at a separate URL from the admin panel. Share the URL with your employees โ€” it looks like: sweldo-staff.html?store=YOUR_STORE_ID

2

The employee sees their store's name and a PIN login field. They enter their 6-digit PIN to log in. The portal shows only that employee's data โ€” they cannot see colleagues' information.

3

There is no password reset inside the portal. If an employee forgets their PIN, an admin must reset it from the Employees tab in the main Sweldo panel.

What employees can see and do

Schedule Read only

Displays the employee's weekly work schedule: which days they work, their shift start and end times, and which days are their rest days. Useful for employees to confirm their schedule without having to ask management.

Attendance Read only

Shows the employee's time log history: clock-in/out times, hours computed per day, late minutes, and any status flags (flagged, adjusted, etc.). Employees can see if any of their entries were edited by a manager and what the override was.

Leave View balance + file requests

Employees can see their leave balance for each type (SL, VL, EL): total days allowed, days used, and days remaining. They can also file a new leave request directly from the portal โ€” choosing the type, start and end dates, and an optional reason. Filed requests go to the admin panel for approval.

Payslips View + download

Lists all released payslips for that employee across all periods. The employee can open any payslip to see the full breakdown (earnings, deductions, net pay) and download it as a PDF. Draft payrolls are not visible here โ€” only released runs appear.

What employees cannot do

๐Ÿ’ก
The Staff Portal works well on mobile โ€” employees can check their schedule, leave balance, or latest payslip from their phone without needing a computer. Consider bookmarking the portal URL for your team.

Each employee's data is protected by row-level security in the database โ€” even if someone tried to access another employee's records directly, the system would block it. But keep PINs private: a shared or leaked PIN lets someone else log in as that employee.
