Mysainsburys Login (Sainsburys Employee Access)

MySainsburys is Sainsbury’s official portal for employees and colleagues, which can be accessed through the website oursainsburys.co.uk login.

Through this portal, you can view your online payslips, shift schedules, work rotas, work hours, benefits, HR information, and Sainsbury’s payroll, as well as check your night shifts.

The MySainsburys login portal can also be used conveniently by managers and company representatives on both desktops and mobile devices.

Sainsbury’s Official Portal

I understand that many employees face difficulties when signing in to MySainsburys, resetting their password, or interacting with MyHR.

In this guide, I have explained these problems in a simple way and provided solutions on how you can log in to your account, reset your password, download your payslips, or apply for leave. Let’s get started below.

MySainsburys Login Access

To access your My Sainsbury’s account, you must have a social security number. You can log in either through the direct website oursainsburys.co.uk or the redirected portal mysainsburys.co.uk. Keep in mind, your SSN number works as your default password. Below are the steps to sign in.

Step 1: Open the Official Website

Visit oursainsburys.co.uk. You will see the Microsoft login dashboard.

Step 2: Enter Your Credentials

Type your email address (for example, smit@sainsburys.co.uk). HR provides this email when you register for MySainsburys login. Then click the “Next” button.

Step 3: Verify With Code

A verification code will be sent to your registered email. Enter this code on the portal. Without completing verification, you cannot access your dashboard.

Step 4: Create a Secure Password

By default, your Social Security Number is set as your password, given by the IT department. It is strongly advised to change this and create a secure password to protect your account from scams or theft.

Step 5: Login Options

If you do not have an email, you have two options to log in to your employee account:

Face, fingerprint, PIN or security key
Sign in with GitHub

Note: These steps are from my personal experience and explained in an easy way, but if you face login problems you can contact Human Resources or the IT Department directly.

How to Access Your MySainsburys Payslips Online

To check your My Sainsburys online payslips, you must log in to your MySainsbury’s account dashboard and open the MyHR section. Here are the steps to view, download or print your payslip securely:

Open the official Sainsburys website.
Sign in by entering your Sainsbury’s email, password (default may be SSN), and complete any verification.
After login, find the MyHR section in the top right corner.
Click on Payslips or Pay slip view in My HR.
You may need to enter your Employee / Colleague Number to access payslips.
Select the year and month, then View, Download or Print your payslip.

Important: If for any reason you cannot access your payslip from the MySainsburys dashboard, you can request it by email, through your HR manager, or collect it in person. They can also provide it in PDF format. Always keep payslips private and store them in a secure folder. If you face any issue, contact HR or the IT department.

Common Login Problems and Quick Fixes

Login to MySainsbury’s can sometimes be tricky if the page is not loading, the app logs out frequently, there’s a password mismatch, your account is locked or disabled, or there are browser/device issues. Here’s how you can fix them in minutes.

Account Locked or Disabled

If you have entered the wrong password too many times, been inactive, or your job profile has changed, your account may be locked or disabled. You cannot fix this yourself. Ask your store manager or HR/IT team to unlock it.

Wrong Password Attempts

If you tried to log in to MySainsbury’s or Colleague Hub and the password does not match, reset it using the official Sainsbury’s login page.
After setting a new password, you must sign out from all devices and then sign in again.

Stuck in Login Loop

If your session on your phone or browser is corrupted:

Fully sign out
Uninstall the Colleague Hub app
Restart your phone
Reinstall and log in again

Page Not Loading

This may mean the service has a temporary problem. Try again later.
Check with your colleagues if the site is down. If not, try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.

Browser or Device Issues

Your browser or phone may be blocking something needed to sign in.

Use a supported browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari)
Turn off ad-blockers or private mode
Clear cache and cookies
Ensure your phone or computer date and time are set automatically
If it still fails, try a different device

Reset Forgotten Password Easily

If you want to change your MySainsbury’s login credentials like password or login email, follow these steps which are very convenient:

Open the official URL: oursainsburys.co.uk.
Click on the “Can’t Access your account” link.
Select the Work account type created by your IT department.
Enter your professional email address and complete the Captcha, then click the Next button.
You will receive an email notification to verify your identity.
After verification, you can set a new password using your registered email.

How to Register as a New Employee

If you are a new employee, the HR Manager or IT Department will provide you with your username or email. Please note that the registration process is fully offline, where the employee is asked for their National Insurance Number (NIN), which is used to create the corporate account. Once you receive all Sainsbury’s business information, you can log in to your account conveniently. The important points to keep in mind are:

Confirm the email provided to you by the HR Department.
Keep your password strong to avoid theft and scams.
If you face any issues during login, contact the IT team or HR Manager.

What You Need Before Login

As a Sainsbury employee, you sign in to MySainsburys (employee portal) with the right details on the correct site, using a supported setup on a reliable connection.

Use your User identification with your Password to start the sign-in.
Open the correct Web address Oursainsburys.co.uk in a modern Internet browser, and make sure JavaScript is turned on.
Sign in from a Device (laptop, PC, smartphone, tablet) on a stable Internet connection.
Keep your Email address up to date for resets and security codes.
Be ready to confirm identity details, which may include your Social security number (UK equivalent: National Insurance number).
If you can’t get in, ask your store Clerk first; the Registration team or an HR Representative can set up, unlock, or fix access.

How to Keep Your Account Secure

Strong passwords: Use a unique password just for MySainsburys. Keep it in a password manager.
Login info: Turn on MFA. Store backup codes somewhere only you can access. Never share one-time codes.
Official access: Sign in from the MySainsburys homepage or a saved bookmark. Ignore unexpected login links in emails or texts.
Log out: When you’re finished, sign out and lock your device, especially on shared or work computers.
Public networks: Don’t use public Wi-Fi for MySainsburys. Prefer mobile data or a trusted VPN.

FAQs

Why is my MySainsburys account locked?

Your account usually locks if you type the wrong details too many times or if you haven’t used it for a while. It’s a security thing. The best option is to speak to your manager or HR, as they can unlock it or guide you on the next step.

How to fix “error while signing up” for MySainsburys account?

This normally happens if some of your details don’t match what’s on the system. Double-check your employee number and personal details. If it still doesn’t work, let your manager or store HR know — they’ll raise it with IT support.

How can I access my payslip after leaving Sainsbury’s or contract termination?

Once you’ve left, your online access usually stops. If you need old payslips, you’ll have to contact HR or payroll directly and request copies. They can post or email them to you.

Why am I constantly logged out of the portal or see retry errors?

The system can be glitchy at times, especially on mobile. Make sure you’ve got a stable internet connection, clear your browser cache, or try a different device. If it keeps happening, it’s worth reporting it to HR so IT can check your account.

What is my username or login number format?

Most colleagues log in using their work email, which is often in the format: firstname.lastname plus the last four numbers of your clock-in number, followed by @mysainsburys.co.uk. If you’re not sure, ask your manager or check with HR.

Can someone else access my portal and how do I protect it?

Your portal shows private info like payslips and bank details, so never share your login. Always log out properly, especially on shared computers. If you think someone’s used your details, tell HR straight away.

Does MySainsburys work on mobile?

Yes, you can use it on your phone, but many colleagues say the app or site logs them out often. If it happens, try using a browser instead of the app, or clear the app data and log back in. For important stuff like payslips, a desktop or laptop is usually more reliable.

Is the Sainsbury’s Colleague Hub app reliable?

The Colleague Hub app is useful for checking rotas and quick updates, but it isn’t always smooth. Some staff say it logs them out randomly or shows “retry” errors. If that happens, reinstalling the app or switching to the browser version usually helps. For payslips or HR info, it’s best to use a computer if you can.

Closing Note

The MySainsburys.co.uk portal is there to make life easier for employees, whether it’s checking payslips or using other work tools on the site. I hope this article helped you. If you still have trouble logging in or using the portal, just leave a comment and I’ll try to guide you. Thanks for visiting.
