HSE Self Service App: Login, Payslips & Pension

If you’re an HSE employee, you’ve probably wondered how to get your payslips or check your leave balance without filling out forms — the HR and Payroll Self Service portal puts those tasks online, but navigating the login, regional links, and pension options can still be confusing. This guide walks through the exact steps to access the portal, view payslips, and understand how your HSE pension fits with the State Pension.

Portal Name: HR and Payroll Self Service ·
Available Services: Payslips, Leave, Travel Expenses, Personal Details ·
Online Payslips Introduced: January 2022 ·
Access Method: Web browser (healthservice.hse.ie) ·
Regions Covered: HSE East, South West, South East, Midlands, North West

Five key facts about the portal, one pattern: everything you need for payroll and leave is online, but pension details remain offline.

Where can I find the HSE self-service portal?

Official URLs for HR and Payroll Self Service

• The main portal is hosted at healthservice.hse.ie/staff and is called HR and Payroll Self Service (HSE HR and Payroll Self Service).
• The pocket guide gives the direct URL as myhseselfservice.hse.ie (My HSE Self Service pocket guide).

Regional access links for different HSE areas

• Some regions have dedicated payslip portals (e.g., South East, North West). The legacy online payslips site at epayslips.hse.ie still works for older payslips (HSE Log In).
• Staff should register with their local payroll office to receive access (My HSE Self Service pocket guide).

The implication: you need to confirm which regional portal applies to you before you can log in.

How do I log into the HSE app?

Using your SAP login credentials

• Login requires a valid HSE staff ID (SAP personnel number) and password. The My HSE Self Service logon ID is the SAP number prefixed with E for employees, M for managers, and R for retirees (My HSE Self Service pocket guide).
• Single sign-on (SSO) is available via SAP.
• Managers must access My HSE Self Service using an HSE device for security reasons (Health Matters Winter 2021).

Troubleshooting common login issues

• If you forget your password, use the reset option on the portal.
• For technical issues, email support.nisrp@hse.ie or call 0818 300 296, Monday to Friday 9am to 4.30pm (HSE View your payslips).

The catch: your login credentials are standard SAP, but the device restriction for managers is a hard wall that many don’t expect.

How do I access my HSE payslips?

Registering for online payslips

• Registration requires your staff number and date of birth. The legacy portal at epayslips.hse.ie asks for a personnel number and PIN found on your paper payslip (HSE Log In).
• The new My HSE Self Service allows you to register directly via your local payroll office (My HSE Self Service pocket guide).

Viewing payslips after January 2022

• Payslips from January 2022 onwards are available online in My HSE Self Service (HSE Online payslips).
• To view a payslip, log in, click the payslip, then download or print it (HSE View your payslips).
• Older payslips before your area’s go-live date are still on the legacy portal (My HSE Self Service pocket guide).

The pattern: the split between new and legacy portals means you may need to check both systems to see your full payslip history.

How do I check my HSE pension?

Understanding self-service limitations

• The HSE self-service portal (HR and Payroll Self Service) does not currently offer pension statements (HSE HR and Payroll Self Service).
• Pension queries should be directed to the HSE Pensions Department.

Contacting the HSE Pensions Department

• For pension details, contact the HSE Pensions Department directly. State Pension information is available on gov.ie (Gov.ie State Pension).

The trade-off: the portal simplifies payroll but leaves pension entirely offline, forcing staff to chase information through traditional channels.

Do you get HSE pension and State Pension?

Differences between HSE occupational pension and the State Pension

• HSE employees are entitled to both an occupational pension (funded by employee and employer contributions) and the State Pension (a social welfare payment from the Department of Social Protection).
• They are separate schemes and you can receive both.

How much is the HSE pension?

• Exact HSE pension amounts depend on individual service and are not specified on the portal. Contact the HSE Pensions Department for a projection.

State Pension amounts and future increases in 2026

• The State Pension is a flat-rate payment. Current rates are available on gov.ie.
• A potential increase for 2026 is under review.

The State Pension is a flat-rate payment from the Department of Social Protection.

Gov.ie State Pension

The implication: HSE staff enjoy a dual pension setup, but the lack of online visibility into the occupational pension means planning for retirement requires proactive outreach.

Steps to Access HSE Self Service

1. Open your web browser and go to myhseselfservice.hse.ie (My HSE Self Service pocket guide).
2. Enter your SAP personnel number with the correct prefix (E for employees, M for managers, R for retirees) and your password (Same source).
3. If you are a manager, ensure you are using an HSE device (Health Matters Winter 2021).
4. Once logged in, select the service you need: payslips, leave, travel expenses, or personal details (HSE HR and Payroll Self Service).
5. For payslips, click the payslip and download or print it (HSE View your payslips).
6. If you need older payslips (before your area’s go-live date), visit epayslips.hse.ie and log in with your personnel number and PIN (HSE Log In).
7. For pension queries, contact the HSE Pensions Department directly – the portal does not provide pension statements.

For HSE staff, the choice is clear: use the portal for day-to-day payroll tasks, but for pension planning you’ll need to pick up the phone. The online system is powerful for what it does, but its limits mean you cannot manage your complete financial picture from a single dashboard. That’s a gap worth watching, especially as the State Pension review for 2026 could change the retirement landscape.
