Using the Employee Management System
Â
This system is only available to customers using Vicinitee or a Gallagher mobile access integration.
Overview
The Employee Management System will be used to provide secure access to your building for your employees.
With the EMS, you can:
Manage access records to ensure your employees can access your building.
Create an employee record in the Employee Management System which will then create a digital pass for that employee to access the building.
Manage access records to ensure your employees (onsite & offsite) can access the building.
Add expiry dates for digital passes and receive weekly reports on employees with passes approaching expiry
Digital passes may also be stored in your building app
Accessing the EMS
The Employee Management System is best used on desktop.
You will be provided a link to access from your Building Management Team or it may be accessed via your community platform.
