Securitas Employee Portal: Everything you need to know from my experience

Hello, I'm Rubén Águila. If you are here it is because you have ever faced the "wonderful" world of the Securitas Employee Portal or at least you have wondered what the hell it is. Well, relax, because I'm going to explain everything you need to know, in the style you deserve: direct, practical and straightforward.

Why do I speak to you with such confidence? Because I have worked with this tool for years, and although at first it may seem like a maze, with patience and a couple of tricks, it becomes your best ally.

What is the Securitas Employee Portal?

The Securitas Employee Portal is a digital platform designed for the workers of this company to access everything related to their labor management. Here you can consult your pay slips, manage vacations, download certificates and much more.

This portal is not only for administrative tasks; it also empowers training and professional development through courses and resources accessible from the same platform. That is to say, you are not only managing procedures, but also investing in yourself.

My experience using the portal

When I started at Securitas, they gave me access to the portal and told me: "It is very intuitive". Ha! The first thing I did was get the password wrong three times in a row. So here's the first tip: make sure you set up the two-factor authentication properly. This step is key to avoid problems when logging in. If you have doubts, call technical support at 800 009 999; they are nice and will help you quickly.

Once inside, I was surprised by the amount of useful functions. For example:

Download payslips: You can access them in the "My economic data" section. Everything is organized by month, which makes things easier when you need to justify them for, say, rent or credit.

Holiday and leave management: Through the portal, you request days off without having to go through long chains of mail or paperwork. This saved me hours.

Training and development: The company offers courses and materials directly on the portal. Here I learned skills that later served me not only in Securitas, but also in other personal projects.

Advantages of the employee portal

Why do I like this tool? Well, because it centralizes everything. In one place you can do the following:

• Consult up-to-date information about your contract.
• Manage medical leaves or special leaves.
• Update your personal data without depending on third parties.
• Participate in training programs.

Also, the ability to do everything from home is a blessing. You no longer have to deal with traffic or endless waits in offices.

Common problems and how to solve them

Now, not everything is perfect. Like any platform, the employee portal has its stumbling blocks. Here are the most common ones and how to solve them:

You can't access the portal: Check that you are entering your username and password correctly. If the problem persists, check the two-factor authentication. Still stuck? Contact the Customer Service Center.

Error when downloading payroll: This may be due to browser incompatibilities. Try using Google Chrome or updating your Adobe Reader plugins.

Your latest payroll is not published: This usually happens if you are new to the company. From experience, it takes a few extra days.

Practical tips

Keep your credentials in a safe place. Believe me, forgetting them is more common than you think.

Explore the training section. Don't ignore it, as it can be key to getting promoted or improving your resume.

Ask questions. If something is unclear to you, don't hesitate to contact support or ask your peers. He who does not ask, does not advance!

Conclusion

The Securitas Employee Portal may seem complicated at first, but once you master it, it becomes an indispensable tool to manage your work life. From my first stumbles until today, I have learned to get the most out of it, and I hope you do too.

So, if you are a Securitas employee, don't just stick with the basics. Explore, learn and, above all, use everything this portal has to offer you.
