Creating a user - Access to functions with Self-service  

Access: User management > Add user

Important

To create a user profile for your employee to access Self-service, the SIN must be different than “0” or “000000000”.

For clients who process their payroll with the payroll application note that it is possible to create a user code with a SIN set to zero for self-employed individuals who do not have a SIN, or foreign workers who do not yet have their temporary SIN.

1Under Identification, select the Type of use “User – access to functions”.

2Check Access to self-service. The Associated employees for self-service access section appears. Click on Add.

Warning If you are creating a user using the Hire an employee function, go to step 4 and click hmtoggle_plus1 here for details.

3The Choose an employee window opens. Select an employee.

To allow the user access to their pay stubs, you must associate the user with an existing employee file.

An employee file cannot be associated with two separate user codes. If an employee is already associated with a user code, the existing association must be deleted before a new code can be associated with this employee.

If you selected an employee by mistake, click on x bleu to delete the employee, and then select a new employee.  

4Enter the desired User code.

The user code must contain between 6 and 10 alphanumeric characters.

5If the user is authorized to contact our payroll services, select “Yes” for Contact person.

If you only have one company, the Contact information heading will show. Check the box linked to the involvement type and enter the number that corresponds to the call priority in the field provided.  

If your business covers more than one company, you will have to complete this step later.

6Under Telephones, enter at least a cell phone number or the main telephone number if the user is a contact person.  

If the main phone number field is blank, the cell phone number will be automatically copied in the field.

7Under the Communication settings, select the communication language.

8Click on Next.

     If you manage the user within your business, click hmtoggle_plus1 here. If this condition does not apply, go directly to step 9.

9 Under Functions access list, select:

“No access”, to deny access to all functions.

“Complete access” to grant access to all functions.

“Select by function” to limit access to certain functions.

Important

Complete access to the Pay stubs and Tax slips functions is granted by default and cannot be modified.  

Complete access to the Personal information and Emergency contacts functions is granted by default but can be modified.

If the “Select by function” is chosen, for each function you must then select:

“Complete” to grant full access (data that can be edited can be modified by the user);

“Read-only” to grant read-only access (data that can be edited cannot be modified by the user);

“None” to deny access to this function.

Note that some access rights to functions must be assigned conditionally to others so that the user can access the function. We recommend granting access to functions by module. For example, “Complete access” for the Pay module.
