MySBSPay FAQ

Employees can easily check our FAQs to answer questions they may have about using the MySBSPay App

Our questions are designed to help with any problems NHS employees may have with the application itself, rather than payroll or pensions queries. If employees have payroll or pension queries, they should visit our Self Service Portal instead.

When will you join over 100,000 of your NHS colleagues in downloading the free MySBSPay App?

Apple App Store
Google Play
What are the system requirements for running the application?

Depending on which mobile device type you have you will need:

• For Android, version 5 or newer

• For Apple devices, iOS version 14 or newer

• The app is not supported on Windows devices

• It is also currently not configured for tablets, although it may still work on some devices we are unable to offer support at this stage

I am a contractor, rather than directly employed by an NHS Organisation – can I use the app?

If you are not directly employed by an NHS Organisation, whose payroll service is processed by NHS Shared Business Services through the ESR system, then we will not be able to provide you with payslip data through the app at this time.

Problems with first time registration?

You will need to register with the email address that we already hold on record for you from ESR. This ensures that we know you are the valid owner of that email address and keeps your data secure. If you are having any problems then please amend your email address through ESR Self Service, or contact your HR team or manager.

Registering with an incorrect email address

If you register with an email address that is not the same as the one registered under ESR, you will find that you will be unable to get past the “Pay Setup” page in the app. To resolve this, you will need to sign out of the app and register again using the same email address as registered with ESR.

Follow these steps

  • Open the menu icon
  • Press the Log out button
  • Press the register button, and ensure you use the same email address as registered with ESR.
Problems with verification code

We will need you to confirm that you have access to the email address you provided so an automated email should be sent within two minutes of pressing “Send Verification Code”.

These should go in to your inbox but please ensure you double check any spam or junk folders you may have. Once you have received the email, enter the 6 digit code in to the app and complete the rest of the registration process.

If you encounter any problems then you do have the option to “Send code again” where you will receive a new email and code. We also recommend turning off Wi-Fi and using mobile data before requesting a new code, if the code still does not arrive after a few minutes.

Problems with password creation

In order to improve security there are minimum requirements for the password you create. It will need to contain between 8 and 16 characters, with at least 3 of the following 4 character types:

 

  1. Upper case
  2. Lower case
  3. Number
  4. Special character

You will also need to enter your password carefully in to both boxes and ensure they are the same.

Problems passing the personal details verification stage

Before we are able to display your personal payslip and P60 data, we require you to confirm two pieces of information – National Insurance Number and either Employee or Assignment Number.

Providing all the details you enter are the same as we hold on record for you, you will be granted access to your data.

Problems with data displayed in the app

If for any reason you believe that your details are incorrect, or any information contained within the application differ from what they should be or are missing, then please get in touch with our Employee Service Desk through our Self-Service Portal.

This includes any further queries or problems you may have around your pay details.

How do I request for my account to be deleted?”

Please raise a case on the ES Portal to request for your account to be deleted and make sure to include your registered email address in the request.

We will action the deletion of your account which will mean you will no longer have access to the app and the data within.

We are unable to delete the underlying data for items such as payslips and P60s as these are required for other back-office processes beyond the mobile app. The data remains the property of your employer.”
