Welcome to LINQ Employee Portal!
The LINQ Employee Portal (LINQ EP) software solution interfaces with the Alio Human Resources System (HRS). LINQ EP is designed to help your organization implement and manage a portal that employees can use to view their payroll advice, leave accruals, education and certificates on file, payroll deductions, and benefit package enrollments; submit requests to change their personal information, enroll in new benefit plans or change their current benefit plan enrollments, request additional payroll deductions, request leave, add or change their direct deposit allocation, change their federal and state withholding, and enter weekly time reports; and view and sign their employment contracts electronically.
LINQ EP also allows your supervisory and management staff to review, approve, and deny requests submitted by employees. You can implement multi-level approval chains for each type of request available to your employees. In addition, you can define employee contract templates, generate employee contracts, and notify employees to log into LINQ EP to view and sign their contract.
LINQ EP has two security levels: Administrator and Employee.
Your LINQ EP administrator can tailor LINQ EP to meet the needs of your organization. The LINQ EP administrator can pick and choose the LINQ EP options available to your organization's employees. These options enable your employees to:
Submit a request to change their employee file, including demographics, dependents, and emergency contacts.
Submit a request to change their benefit plans and enroll in new benefit plans. A benefit plan is an optional payroll deduction, such as a charitable donation.
Submit a request to change their deductions and add new deductions. A deduction is a required or optional payroll deduction for an employee program offered by your organization, such as a health insurance plan, dental plan, vision plan, and life insurance.
Submit a request to change their direct deposit accounts and account distribution, and, if appropriate, add a new bank to the Alio Bank Master file.
Request a leave of absence, either accrued leave (personal, vacation, and local) or tracked leave (jury duty, military leave, and bereavement).
Submit a request to change their federal and state withholding.
Submit a time entry request.
Approve employee requests.
The LINQ EP administrator can also use this interface to:
Set the default parameters used to define the appearance and functionality of LINQ EP.
Upload and organize company forms and other correspondence used by employees.
Customize automatic notification e-mail messages to employees and administrators.
Maintain administrator and employee user accounts.
Identify the request options available to your employees, including benefit, deduction, demographic, leave, direct deposit, tax, and time entry.
Define the Department Leave Calendar.
Create the approval hierarchies for request approvals.
Enter a Proxy Leave and Proxy Time Entry Request for an employee.
Create employee contract templates; generate employee contracts using employee contract data defined in Alio; and notify employees to log into LINQ EP to view and sign their contract.
Employees are granted access to LINQ EP after creating an LINQ EP account. Employees can assign their own user name and password, and enter their own security questions and answers. After creating their account, the employee must respond to an automatic e-mail before logging into LINQ EP for the first time.
Using LINQ EP, your employees may:
Change their e-mail address and their LINQ EP user name and password.
Configure their personal information settings and calendar settings.
View and search a company directory.
