Popular FAQs

Common queries about our market-leading client portal, answered by our Employment Law and HR specialists.

Does myWorkNest keep a record of the matters WorkNest has helped with?

For Employment Law and HR, yes. Through myWorkNest, you can access a full case history saved against employee and case type, as well as any emails and attachments sent between you and your named advisers. You can also access attendance notes and call recordings of conversations with your team so that you can refer back to their advice whenever you need.

Can I use myWorkNest to store my important HR documents?

Yes, and we’ll even product these for you as part of our fixed-fee outsourced HR support. We can craft your contracts, provide you with a best-practice Employee Handbook and even draft all other employment-related letters and documents you require. You can access all of these on myWorkNest, as well as upload any other documents you want to store centrally and securely.

What sorts of issues can I find guides and templates on?

We have a range of guidance notes and accompanying templates covering a full spectrum of employment-related issues, including Maternity, Pay, Flexible Working, Holidays, Performance and Redundancy. All of these resources are created by our experts, and if you require further support or have any questions, you can contact your dedicated team of advisers for practical advice and guidance.

Who can access myWorkNest?

During onboarding, our Client Experience Team will work with you to set up agreed users within myWorkNest. There are different permission levels and we can restrict access to certain apps at a user level too. myWorkNest is primarily a management tool, but our HR Software (accessed via myWorkNest) is also aimed at employees. We’ve recently introduced a new feature in myWorkNest which allows the key decision maker / main contact to deactivate user accounts from their organisation, which means you’re in control of users’ access within your organisation.

Can we add users, and does this cost extra?

You can add as many users as you like. You can also manage applications for different people so that users can only view the applications that are relevant to them. There is no extra cost to add users; you will only need to pay extra for additional licenses (if you have multiple sites).

Is it secure?

myWorkNest uses Microsoft authentication and Gusite authentication, which means users can use their own credentials to access myWorkNest. We use the latest SSL encryption too, which means all communications between the user and myWorkNest are encrypted using TLS. Our connections to third parties are via Single Sign On (SSO).

What does the HR Software do?

There can be a great deal of administration involved in managing employees, and the burden only increases as your business grows. If filing cabinets of employee information is no longer cutting it, our HR Software will help to automate your processes, save valuable time and manage HR tasks at the touch of a button. Use it to store and organise employee data and essential documents; manage and report on holidays, absence, timesheets and rostering; stay on top of employee reviews; maintain a comprehensive employee directory, and keep a record of training and development.

What is the Coronavirus Advice Hub?

Our Coronavirus Advice Hub is an exclusive portal created by our Employment Law and Health & Safety experts to help employers manage the employment and safety-related challenges caused by COVID-19. It contains hundreds of regularly updated resources, including template risk assessments and checklists, topical guides and webinars, and FAQs on the latest government developments.
