You're at your desk reviewing expense claims when you realize the approval feature only works on the website: your phone won't let you access it properly. Running Visma Employee on your PC solves that friction: you keep your payslips, absences, and claim workflows in one place alongside your browser, without switching devices. The app syncs your Visma payroll account across platforms, giving you persistent access to payslips, transaction details, and leave requests from a full keyboard and larger display.
Visma Employee brings your payroll and absence management into desktop workflow. On PC, the app runs alongside your email and calendar, letting you process payslips and absences without phone constraints. Here's how Visma Employee fits into regular office use.
Core Payslip and Absence Tools
The app centers on viewing payslips and managing time-off directly from your account. You can drill down into transaction details, see the original PDF payslip, and export all payslips to a single PDF for archiving. Absence integration lets you register sickness, send vacation requests, and log other event types without opening a separate tool. On PC, these functions sit open in a window while you handle other tasks, reducing app-switching.
What You Can Do in Visma Employee
The app's core capabilities include:
- View detailed payslips with drill-down into each transaction line
- Access original PDF payslips for complete financial records
- Set automatic notifications when new payslips arrive
- Submit absence requests and register sickness leave
- Export all payslips as a single PDF for filing or review
- Secure the app with a personal code or biometric lock
Desktop Persistence and Login
Users report mixed experiences with Visma Employee's login stability across devices. Some players describe authentication failures and frozen states after first launch, requiring cache and storage deletion to restore function. Others note the app runs smoothly once it connects, particularly after updates. On a PC, staying signed into one session avoids repeated login attempts; you're not toggling between apps and devices. If your organization uses Visma payroll solutions, check with your payroll administrator to confirm the app is active on your account before installing.
Feature Gaps Between App and Website
Visma Employee doesn't replicate every website function. Claim approvals require the browser version on some accounts, and receipt deletion from claims must happen via the website. Language settings also show inconsistencies, selecting English may leave sub-menus in Norwegian. These gaps mean you'll occasionally need the web interface alongside the app, though running both on PC is more practical than switching between phone and desktop.
Integration with Your Workflow
For those managing Employee time tracking software through Visma, the app serves as a mobile extension of desktop payroll access. On PC, Visma Employee becomes part of your regular session: open it alongside your browser, HR inbox, and calendar. You check payslips, approve or submit absences, and download records without leaving your desk setup.

FAQ
Will Visma Employee work if I'm not using Visma payroll solutions?
The app is built specifically for employees paid through Visma payroll systems. If your organization doesn't use Visma, the app won't connect to your account. Contact your payroll administrator to confirm Visma Employee is active and available for your company.
What should I do if the app won't log in or freezes on startup?
Login errors and crashes are reported by some users, particularly after Android updates or on certain devices. Try clearing the app's cache and storage data, then restart. If problems persist, use the web version through your browser while support investigates: many features work equally well on the desktop site.
Can I approve expense claims directly in the app?
Claim approvals are limited in the current app version; you'll need to access the website via browser for full approval workflows. You can submit and view claims in the app, but deletions and some approvals happen on the web interface.
Is Visma Employee secure on a shared computer?
Yes. You can secure the app with a personal code or biometric authentication (Touch ID or fingerprint). This protects your payslips and absence data if others use the same PC: just enable security in the app settings.
Can I download and keep copies of my payslips?
Yes. Visma Employee lets you export all payslips to a single PDF file, which you can store locally on your PC for tax records or personal filing.
Does the app work offline?
The app requires an internet connection to fetch payslips, absences, and notifications from your Visma account. You can view cached payslips if they've loaded before, but new data needs a live connection.
