The employee portal gives employees a visual overview of their current time off allowance as well as updates on their most recent actions and notices. 

Additionally, the quick launch under their images allows the employee quick and easy access to the most used elements of Natural HR so they do not need to go via the menus for these items.

The employee portal is displayed on the employee home screen when they log in - if it is not visible then you may need to enable it through Display Settings under:

Administration> Company >Settings >Display settings 

Then select the option under Employee module at the bottom.
