Employee Accounts

What is the Employee Home & how do I use it?

Upon logging in to their GoCo account, users are directed to their Homepage where they can explore a range of features and functionalities. Keep reading to discover all the possibilities!

The Employee Home will serve as a convenient hub for your employees to easily access and manage their tasks within their GoCo accounts. Think of it as a personalized dashboard based on each user. When a user has outstanding tasks or workflows to complete they can quickly see and complete them from the inbox notifications section. They can also utilize the user-friendly widgets to easily clock in/out, check upcoming holidays, and initiate workflows for themselves. Additionally, if an admin posts an important announcement users will spot a banner at the top of the page. 🌟

If employees are looking for a history of their employment, timesheets, reviews, etc. Navigate to "My Profile" and access it through the appropriate module.

  • Will the Employee Home page replace My Profile? 
    • No! This will not replace the My Profile Page but will serve as an additional tool for your employees to easily see "Action" items. The Profile Page will still exist for employees to view things like their Employment Information, Payment & Tax Information, Documents, a history of their timesheets, etc. 
  • Can I find a history of my timesheets from the employee home page?
    • No, only the current time sheet is accessible through the home page, to see past time sheets navigate to "My Profile" and find them in the "Time" module.  
  • I don't want to see the Employee Homepage when I log in, I prefer to see My Profile upon login. Can I change this?
    • As of now, this is the default experience, but check back for updates later this year!
  • Can I customize my Homepage & change what widgets I see? 
  • As a Full Access Admin, can I view my Employee's Homepages?
    • No, you cannot. All users in GoCo are ONLY able to view their own Homepages as they are dynamic based on each user. To see what employees/managers would view, we recommend creating a test employee & assigning them the same permissions.
  • I have access to multiple companies, what will my default view be?
    • If you are a user that has access to multiple companies, then your default view will not change. When you first log in you will be taken to the Company Profile. You can still get to your Homepage from the Navigation tabs on the left side of your screen.
  • I have access to the Company page, what will my default view be? 
    • If you are a user that has access to the Company page (Full Access Admins or a user with company access permissions), then your default view will not change. When you first log in you will be taken to the Company Profile. You can still get to your Homepage from the Navigation tabs on the left side of your screen.
