Mysainsburys – Oursainsburys Employee Portal.

MySainsburys, re-branded as OurSainsburys, is the secure website Sainsbury’s uses to share pay, rota and HR information with colleagues. The portal replaces printed payslips and notice-board rotas, saving time for managers and staff alike.

What can I use Mysainsburys For?

The portal holds almost everything a colleague needs outside the shop floor. It cuts calls to HR and lets teams self-serve.

Payslips and P60s: view, download or print at any time. No paper copies are posted.
Rotas and holidays: check weekly shifts, book annual leave, see approval status.
Personal data: update bank details, address, emergency contacts in minutes.
News and policies: read bulletins, health-and-safety updates, uniform guidelines.
Colleague discount links: access your discount card balance and seasonal offers.

Mysainsburys Registration Process

Registration is done for you. HR creates every account after your right-to-work check is completed. You receive a welcome email or letter with a username and a temporary password. The username format is usually [email protected]. Your National Insurance number often acts as the first password.

If those details do not arrive within one week of starting, call HR Shared Services on 020 7695 6000 with your employee number.

Mysainsburys Login Process

Go to oursainsburys.co.uk. The old mysainsburys.co.uk address forwards here.
Type the username and the temporary password.
Follow the on-screen prompt to create a new secure password. Use eight or more characters with a mix of letters and numbers.
Set up multi-factor authentication if prompted—usually a code sent to your phone.
After these steps you reach the dashboard and can explore payslips, rotas and news.

Mysainsburys or Oursainsburys?

The portal first launched as MySainsburys in 2010. In 2019 the supermarket re-positioned the service as OurSainsburys to reflect its “One Team” culture. The new name stresses that data belongs to the whole colleague community, not to individuals alone. For continuity, the old domain still redirects to oursainsburys.co.uk. All new documentation, posters and training refer to the updated address.
