Q: How do I activate the CONNEX portal for eEspresso?
To activate the CONNEX portal, you must first download the Duo Mobile app to your smartphone. Then, on a computer, visit the activation link https://c1.authlogibec.com/auth/realms/CCOMTL/account/totp. Log in with your eEspresso/Windows credentials.

Q: What is multi-factor authentication (MFA) for eEspresso JGH?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an added security layer for your eEspresso account, required when accessing it remotely via the CONNEX portal. It means you need more than just your username and password to log in. Specifically, after entering your traditional credentials, you will be prompted to provide a unique, time-sensitive passcode generated by the Duo Mobile app on your cell phone. This significantly enhances the protection of your digital account and personal data.
Q: What services does the eEspresso JGH portal offer employees?
The eEspresso JGH portal, accessible through the secure CONNEX portal, provides employees with a comprehensive set of self-service human resources and payroll tools. You can view your work schedule, access electronic pay statements and tax slips (T1, T4), manage your attendance records, update personal contact information, review your training profile, set your work availabilities, and even apply for internal job postings. It centralizes many essential employee functions in one convenient digital space.
Q: How do I get help if I can't log into eEspresso?
If you are encountering issues logging into eEspresso or accessing your account, the quickest way to get assistance is to contact the CSIT (CIUSSS I.T Support line).

Q: Can I access eEspresso from outside the hospital network?
Yes, the eEspresso portal is designed for access from anywhere, anytime, when you are away from your work site. However, for remote access (outside of CIUSSS facilities or dedicated kiosks), it is mandatory to use the CONNEX portal which requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) via the Duo Mobile application. If you only access eEspresso from a hospital computer or kiosk, you typically do not need to follow the MFA procedure.
