How do I access the admin portal vs. the employee portal?
Each portal serves a different purpose — and requires its own login
Paycircle uses two separate portals — one for employers/admins, and one for employees. These systems are kept distinct to protect data privacy and enforce clear access control.
🔐 Which Portal Should You Use?
👨💼 Admin Portal (for employers and payroll approvers)
Log in here: 👉 https://payroll.paycircle.co.uk/login
Use your company email and admin login details.
👤 Employee Portal (for payslips, P60s, etc.)
Log in here: 👉 https://my.paycircle.co.uk/login
Use your personal email (the one linked to your employee profile).
⚠️ Important: You Need Two Email Addresses
If you're both:
-
An admin user (approving payroll)
-
And an employee (receiving payslips)
You’ll need two separate logins, each with its own email address:
| Portal | Recommended Email |
|---|---|
| Admin Portal | Work email (e.g. yourname@company.com) |
| Employee Portal | Personal email (e.g. yourname@gmail.com) |
This separation is intentional and helps:
-
Keep personal and business data separate
-
Maintain audit trails
-
Prevent access conflicts or accidental data overlap
🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips
If you're having trouble logging in:
-
Double-check which portal you're trying to access
-
Use the correct email address for that portal
-
Clear your browser cache and restart your browser
-
Try a private/incognito window to isolate login sessions
