Employee Link

The Employee Link is a great online resource that enables you to view and make changes to your personal information on the University Personnel/Payroll System.

How to Access the Employee Link

You will be able to access your information on the Employee Link (bu.edu/employeelink) as soon as the administrative offices have processed the necessary paperwork and set you up on the University Payroll System.

You also will need a BU login name and a Kerberos Password to access the Employee Link. These will be issued once you have received your e-mail and computer access from your Data Security Administrator (DSA). To learn more, visit the Charles River Campus Information Technology or the Medical Campus Information Technology.

The first time you access the site, please:

  • Ensure that all your personal information is accurate on the Personnel/Payroll System
  • Provide your Emergency Notification Data
