Getting Started
Astute Payroll is a web based software that helps manage the administration of
on-hire and contracting businesses. Expert360 uses Astute to support the Payroll onboarding process.
Please Note: All timesheets & expenses will still be submitted through
Expert360. You will only ever need to visit Astute Payroll during your
onboarding process.
Once your employee access is set up by Expert360’s accounts team, you’ll receive
an email that contains your user ID and the URL you’ll need to set up your password
and log into the Astute portal for onboarding.
If you haven’t received this email, you can contact Expert360 at
[email protected] and we will be available to support you as soon as
possible. You can also send us a message on our website through our ‘Intercom’
customer support channel.
Setting Your Password
When you click the URL in the email, you’ll be prompted to set up your password and
security questions for the Astute system.
The password you set will need to meet the Password Requirements listed at the top
of the screen.
Once you’ve entered and confirmed the password, select two security questions
from the drop down fields and enter the answers to each, then click Set
Password.
On future logins, you’ll be able to directly enter your username and password to
gain access to your portal.
If you forget your username or password, click Forgot Password then enter your
username or email address. You will be sent an email containing a link you can
follow to reset your password.
Setting Up Two Factor Authentication
You will also need to set up two factor authentication (2FA) as an extra layer of
security on top of your password.
If you click ‘Set up 2FA Now’, you’ll be taken through the configuration process for
2FA. Please contact Expert360 at [email protected] and we will be available
to support as soon as possible. You can also send us a message on our website
through our ‘Intercom’ customer support channel.
Employee Portal Setup
Once you’re logged into the portal you’ll have to complete the following steps:
Compliance
Expert360 has 3 compliance documents that we require Experts to read and
agree to. These documents are critical to our onboarding process and must be
acknowledged before commencement of a project.
If you have any issues with the documentation, please reach out to the Expert360
Team.
Once you’ve read a document, tick the checkbox to accept the terms of the
document then click Agree. You can download a document by clicking ‘click here
to download’ above the document display should you wish to save for future
reference.
Completed compliance documents can be viewed from the ‘Your Profile’ section of
your portal Dashboard.
Profile
On completion of the Compliance Module, you will be directed to the Profile tab,
which records your personal and employment details.
If there is mandatory data missing, you will see an ‘Incomplete profile’ banner or
a red exclamation icon.
For PAYG Consultants:
Expert360 requires Personal, Bank Account Details, Tax & Super Details in order to
effectively complete onboarding.
For Consultants working through an ACN:
Expert360 requires Personal & Bank Account Details in order to effectively
complete onboarding.
Completion of Setup
After you’ve completed these details, you have now completed your full onboarding
process with Astute. Please jump into the Expert360 platform to fill your timesheets
and invoicing for your project.
