I’m logged in, but I do not see my workplace

Your email address connects you to your workplace. If you log in but do not see your workplace listed, you may not be logging in with the the wrong email address or have not completed the registration process.

Possible cause: Not logging in with the correct email address

If you do not see your workplace when you log in, you might be using a different email address from the one connected to your workplace.

Solutions:

  • Ask your manager what email address is listed in your user profile, then try logging in again.

Possible cause: Not yet registered with your workplace

If you’re sure you logged in with the correct email address but do not see your workplace when you log in, you need to register with your workplace.

Solution: Follow our instructions on registering with your workplace.

I’m logged in, but it says my profile is pending

When you register to a workplace without an invite, your profile is pending until a manager approves your request to join the workplace.

Possible cause: Your manager hasn’t approved your request

managers are notified when a user requests to join their workplace and need to approve the pending request before the user is able to access their profile.

Solutions:

  • If you do not already have a registered profile, ask your manager to approve your pending request to join the workplace.
  • If you already have a registered profile, you may be logging in with the wrong email address. Try to log in with a different email address, or ask your manager what email  address is listed in your user profile.
