Online Employee Tools

Boston University offers you a great online tool called the Employee Link.  The Employee Link is a collaborative effort between University Information Systems, Human Resources, and Payroll. The Link provides a convenient, secure, and effective method for employees to view or change critical Personnel/Payroll information and enroll for benefits and other services and programs at the University.

The Employee Link uses the highest level of security and encryption available to ensure confidentiality and protect your privacy. You must have a BU login name and a Kerberos password to log on. To learn more about setting up your account and a Kerberos password, please view the Read Me First/Getting Started section of the Employee Link.

You can access the following tools on the Employee Link:

  • View Pay Stub View your current pay stub online, as well as review your past 18 pay stubs.
  • View/Update Personal Information Make sure your personal information is up to date, including your marital status and ethnicity. You can also view your name, employment, visa information, birth date, and gender information. Please e-mail Systems if there is an error in your birth date or gender. To update your visa information, please contact Payroll at 617-353-2270. For all other questions, please contact your payroll coordinator.
  • View/Update Address Moved? Changed phone numbers? If you need to update your work or contact information, log on to the Employee Link. Also, be sure to authorize the use of your home information in the BU Directory. Contact Information Technology with any questions regarding your e-mail address.
  • View/Update Emergency Contact Information It is important that Boston University has your current emergency contact information. Log on to the Employee Link and update your emergency contact’s name, relationship, street address, city, state, ZIP code, daytime phone number and evening phone number. Please note that, at this time, we are only able to accept U.S. contact phone number information.
  • View/Update BU Alert Information BU Alert is the University’s emergency notification system. The program will help ensure rapid and reliable mass communication to students, faculty, and staff. Please provide BU with your cell phone number to ensure that you are notified in the event of an emergency or critical incident on or near campus. Please visit the BU Alert system’s website for more information.
