Sign in and access
What this page covers
Section titled “What this page covers”Use this guide when you need to enter Vesta for the first time, complete your profile, or confirm which surface you should be using.
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”- you have just been invited to Vesta
- you are not sure whether to use the employer portal or the employee-facing kiosk flow
- you need to complete profile or access steps before the rest of the product unlocks
Employer portal access
Section titled “Employer portal access”Employer users sign in through the portal login flow and then work from the main navigation:
- People
- Planning & time
- Payroll & documents
- Settings
Depending on your role, some areas may be hidden until the required permissions or payroll access have been granted.
Employee access
Section titled “Employee access”The current employee-facing surface is lighter:
- a profile-completion step when required
- kiosk access for daily clocking
- guided prompts for contracts, signatures, stop confirmation, and todos
- If you are responsible for setup, confirm early which teammates need manager access and which only need employee-facing access.
- If a section is missing after sign-in, check role permissions before assuming the feature is unavailable.
- If you are deploying kiosk devices, make sure the setup flow is completed before employees try to sign in.
