*IMPORTANT* We are migrating employers from Web Portal to our new Employer Hub in batches, so please keep an eye on your mailbox if you are an existing Web Portal user, as you will be receiving an email within the next few months. Please do not attempt to access the Employer Hub unless you have received confirmation from us that your organisation has been migrated. This page will be under constant review whilst we are in the process of migrating employers from Web portal to Employer Hub - if you are unsure of the requirements for the platform that you are using, please contact us.
The Web Portal and new Employer Hub are where we process the majority of your organisation's bulk member data. Please refer to the relevant section below to find further assistance. To read how to upload files through the web portal, please view our
