# How to use the employee account in Snad

To use the employee account in Snad ERP, sign in with the user linked to your employee record, then open **HR** and **My account**. You get the tabs **Job information**, **Financial details**, **Vacations**, **Requests** and **Performance evaluation**. The **Update** button edits your personal details.

## Before you start

- A Snad account, with the HR app in your plan.
- Your user is linked to an employee record ([add an employee](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/add-employee), [add a user](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/add-user)).

## Steps

1. **Open the My account page.** In the sidebar, choose **HR**, then **My account**. Your page opens with your name, your job title and five tabs. [Details](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/employee-self-service#adv-link)

## Messages that block saving

| Message | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| You don't have permission to view this page | Your user is not linked to an employee record, so **My account** does not show in the sidebar and its page does not open. | Ask your account admin to link your user to your record from the employee form or from user management. |
| No requests | Shows on the **Vacations** tab when no vacation is recorded under your name yet. | File your vacation from the Vacations screen ([record an employee vacation](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/vacation-request)). |

## Advanced details

### How your user gets linked to an employee

The account admin does the linking, from **User account** in the employee form ([add an employee](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/add-employee)). The **Employee** field when you [add a user](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/add-user) works too. One employee per user.

Without a link, **My account** disappears from the sidebar, and opening the page address directly shows a no-access message.

### Your photo

At the top of the page there is a place to upload or remove your photo, with the **Update** button. Both show on medium screens and up, so open the page on a computer or tablet.

### Filing a vacation, a request or attendance

The tabs here are for viewing. File your vacation from **Vacations** and your request from **Requests** in HR. The employee field comes filled with your name ([record a vacation](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/vacation-request), [employee requests](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/hr-requests)).

You check in and out from **Attendance** ([record attendance](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/record-attendance)).

### When your evaluations show

The **Performance evaluation** tab lists the cycles your HR manager added you to. If you are in none, the tab is empty.

The manager runs the cycles from [evaluate employee performance](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/performance-evaluation).

## Common questions

### Why can't I find My account in the sidebar?

Because your user is not linked to an employee record. Ask your account admin to link it, then reopen the program.

### Can I change my salary or branch there?

No. The **Update** button edits only your personal details; the salary and branch are managed by the HR admin ([add an employee](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/add-employee)).

### Where do I see my vacation balance?

On the **Vacations** tab: a card for each type with its days. The starting balances are set in [HR settings](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/hr-settings).

### Do my colleagues see my financial details?

My account shows only your own record. Who can see others' salaries is decided by [roles and permissions](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/roles-permissions).
