# Employee Portal Overview

The Employee Portal is a self-service area where employees can view their badge, manage personal information, update health and safety details, access their digital business card, and report a lost or damaged badge — all without needing admin assistance.

## Who Can Access the Portal

Any system user with the **Employee** role can access the portal. When an employee logs in, they are automatically directed to the portal rather than the admin dashboard. Administrators and other roles do not see the portal.

## How to Log In

1. Open the application URL in a browser.
2. Enter your work email address and click **Continue**.
3. Enter your password and click **Sign in**.

You are taken directly to the Employee Portal home page.

## Portal Layout

The portal has a sidebar on the left with four navigation links:

| Link                     | What it opens                       |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| **Home**                 | Badge preview and QR code           |
| **My Profile**           | Personal and employment details     |
| **My Business Card**     | Custom links and card preview       |
| **Report Missing Badge** | Lost, stolen, or damaged badge form |

At the bottom of the sidebar you will find your name and email address. Clicking that area opens your **Account Settings**, where you can update your display name, profile photo, language preference, email address, and password.

## Language

The portal supports multiple languages. Click the language selector at the bottom of the sidebar to switch between available options. Your preference is saved automatically.

## Signing Out

Click **Sign Out** at the bottom of the sidebar to end your session securely.
