BridgeConnect Staff Guide

How Bridgenext Technologies employees request access, sign in, and use HR — My HR, Timesheets, and Time Off.

For Bridgenext Technologies staff · bridgeconnect.bridgenext.io · Demo screenshots use a QA account (not a real employee roster)

Before you start

Tip: Use the email your Bridgenext Technologies admin expects. Open https://bridgeconnect.bridgenext.io on a desktop browser.

Common mistake: Choosing I’m a client instead of I work at Bridgenext sends you to the Client recruiting portal (Requirements, Placements…) — not Staff HR.

Go to BridgeConnect and Request access

Open the site. If you don’t have an account yet, use Request access or Sign up. Enter your email (and create a password if asked) to continue.

BridgeConnect sign-in with Request access link — Sign in — use **Request access** or **Sign up** if you’re new.

Verify your email (OTP)

Enter the 6-digit code from your email on the verify screen, then Continue. Codes expire — use the newest message or Resend.

Verify email steps overview — Email verification — illustration of the OTP step (live screen is a 6-box code form).

Choose “I work at Bridgenext”

When asked which best describes you, select I work at Bridgenext (Recruiting, HR or operations — not client, not candidate). The company name field disappears automatically; you do not type Bridgenext Technologies. Add your name and job title, then submit. The footer still shows Bridgenext Technologies, LLC.

Staff role selected — company field hidden — Role = I work at Bridgenext · Company field is hidden (no typing).

Tip: If you still see a company text box, you picked the wrong role — switch to I work at Bridgenext.

Submit and wait for review

You’ll see a Pending review confirmation. A Bridgenext Technologies administrator must approve you (usually within one business day). Watch for the approval email with a sign-in link.

Pending review guidance — Pending review — wait for approval before expecting HR access.

Sign in after approval

Open /sign-in with the same email. If you never set a password, use Forgot password?, enter the email code, then choose a new password.

Tip: Stay on the same email you used for Request access.

Confirm you’re in Staff / HR (not Client)

You should land in the HR shell — My HR at /hr/me, with Timesheets and Time Off in the sidebar — not Client recruiting (Requirements, Placements, Resource Pool).

My HR page for a linked staff member — My HR — your staff home after access and linking.

Good sign: Sidebar shows Dashboard, My HR, Timesheets, Time Off (HR / Internal).

If you see “No employee record linked”

Approval gets you into HR, but your login still needs to be attached to your employee roster row. Ask a workspace admin to open Employee Directory → your employee → Edit → set Linked account to your login → Save changes.

No employee record linked message on My HR — Until Linked account is set, My HR shows this gate.

Linked account field on employee edit form — Admin: Linked account connects the roster row to the sign-in (demo QA employee shown).

Don’t: Submit timesheets or time off until My HR shows your name and details.

Timesheets — enter hours per day

Open Timesheets from My HR or the sidebar. For an open pay period, use the day grid: hours and type for each day, plus a comment on every day with hours. The period total is calculated automatically — you don’t type a monthly total.

Per-day timesheet entry grid — Per-day entry: Hours, Type, Comment · Period total is derived.

Save as draft, or submit for approval when ready.
Switching pay periods clears the grid so hours don’t land on the wrong month.
Managers approve at period level and can expand day-by-day detail.

Manager timesheet day detail — Manager view — expandable daily detail for review.

Time Off

Request leave (for example Annual leave): pick dates, add a short note, submit. Status stays pending until a manager approves.

Coming soon

Some sidebar items (Documents, Settings, Performance Reviews, Offboarding) may show a Soon badge and aren’t available yet. That’s expected.

HR sidebar with Soon badges — Soon items stay disabled until Bridgenext Technologies turns them on.

Quick checklist

Role = I work at Bridgenext (company field stays hidden)
Approved + signed in → HR shell (not Client)
Admin linked your account → My HR shows your record
Timesheets: per day + comments → derived period total → submit
Time Off: request and wait for approval
