Activate My Kiosk

Activate My Kiosk

CloudPayroll has created an Employee Kiosk to securely hold your information.

We have both a web version (browser-based application) and a mobile app.

Firstly, you need to activate your kiosk in the web version to view payslips, and so on.  After the kiosk has been activated, you can either continue to access the kiosk in a web browser (on desktop, tablet or mobile), or you may download the mobile app, and add your username and password, then set a pin number to access the kiosk mobile app.

Depending on the settings chosen by your employer, you may be able to request leave, project leave balances or view leave calendars. You may also be able to change your contact information or submit timelogs (if applicable).

Your Employee Kiosk Username

On your first pay day, if your email address has been added by your employer in CloudPayroll, you will receive an email from CloudPayroll with instructions on how to activate your Employee Kiosk.

Your email address is also your username

If you didn't receive an email, ask your employer to update your details with your email address and resend the activation email to you.

Alternatively, your employer can supply you with a printed copy of your first payslip, which will contain a 7-digit system-generated ID, which will be your username, along with activation instructions (not recommended).

If you are already using your email address with another employer who uses CloudPayroll, you can either use a different email address or keep the system-generated username.

Activate your Employee Kiosk

  1. If you have received the 'Welcome to CloudPayroll' email, select the Activate link in the email.
    The CloudPayroll Password page displays. Go to Step 3 below.
  2. If you don't have the activation email, go to www.cloudpayroll.com.au:
    1. Select Login at the top right of the page.
      The CloudPayroll Login page displays.
    2. Select Activate my Kiosk Login.
    3. Enter your username in the Username field (your email address or the system-generated kiosk username on the payslip) and select Activate.
      If you have entered a system-generated kiosk user name, the CloudPayroll Password page displays. Go to Step 3 below.
      Note: If you enter your email address in the Username field, you will be sent a 'Reset Your Password' email. When you receive the email, select the Reset Password link in the email to go to the CloudPayroll Password page.
  3. In the CloudPayroll Password page, if your username is not already in the Username field, enter your username.
  4. Enter a password in the New Password field (it must meet the complexity rules).
  5. Enter the password again in the Confirm New Password field.
  6. Select Activate.
    Note: If you were sent a 'Reset Your Password' email at Step 2c, select Continue instead.

You will now see the Dashboard of your Employee Kiosk:


Change Your System-Generated Username to Your Email Address

If you are using a system-generated username, you can change your username to an email address. This will also make it easier to reset your password, if necessary.

If you are using a system-generated username, you will see a yellow banner at the top of each page in your Employee Kiosk:


  1. Select the link.
    The Change your Username page displays.
  2. Enter your email address.
  3. Confirm your email address.
  4. Select Next.
    You will be asked to confirm the change to your email address as your username.
  5. Select Confirm.
    Note: You will be logged out.
    The CloudPayroll Login page displays.
  6. Log in with your email address and your usual password.
