MHC Software and NorthStar, Explained for Employees and Enterprise Teams

Searching for MHC login can lead to several completely unrelated organizations using the same initials. This publication focuses specifically on MHC Software, the enterprise document and payment automation company behind the MHC NorthStar platform.

MHC currently provides automation tools across payroll, employee documents, employee tax forms, accounts payable, payments, customer communications and other document-heavy enterprise workflows. Its NorthStar platform is designed to connect with existing business systems rather than replace every ERP, payroll or HR application an organization already uses.

That distinction matters because there is no single universal “MHC login” serving every possible user.

An MHC customer administrator may be looking for the official MHC Customer Portal.

An employee whose employer uses MHC may instead encounter a company-configured self-service environment containing pay statements, W-2s or other employment documents.

A finance or HR professional may be using MHC NorthStar inside an enterprise workflow connected to systems such as Infor Lawson or Infor CloudSuite.

[PUBLICATION NAME] is an independent editorial resource. We are not MHC Software, MHC NorthStar or an employer using MHC technology.

Looking for MHC Account Access?

Start with our MHC login and account access guide.

MHC’s current public Customer Portal page provides a customer-community login intended for product documentation, support cases, file sharing and MHC announcements. The same official page separately lists additional access routes for products such as NorthStar CCM and BDA.

That is different from an employee document portal.

MHC’s payroll and employee-document products allow organizations to provide secure self-service access to employees, including active and inactive workers, but the actual employee-facing access route depends on the employer’s implementation.

There is therefore no responsible reason for an independent site to invent one employee login URL and claim it works for every company using MHC.

What Is MHC NorthStar?

MHC NorthStar is the company’s cloud-native automation platform.

MHC currently organizes NorthStar capabilities across customer communications, invoice automation, payment automation, AP tax and compliance documents, payroll, employee tax documents, employee documents, supply-chain documents and accounts-receivable documents.

Our MHC NorthStar overview explains how those areas fit together.

The key idea is that NorthStar often sits around an organization’s core ERP, HR or payroll system.

The ERP may remain the authoritative source for employee, vendor or accounting data.

MHC can then use that data to generate documents, automate workflows, distribute information and make selected documents available through self-service.

Employee Self-Service

One of the most important employee-facing functions is secure document retrieval.

MHC’s current payroll product says organizations can provide 24/7 employee portal access to payroll-related documents and allow both current and former employees to retrieve historical pay statements.

Its Employee Documents product applies a similar self-service model to materials such as employment contracts, compensation statements and benefits agreements.

Our MHC employee self-service guide explains why this is not the same thing as MHC’s corporate Customer Portal.

Payroll Documents

MHC NorthStar Payroll is aimed at the document and payment side of payroll operations.

Current MHC documentation describes payroll check design, direct-deposit advice, paper checks, reprints, off-cycle runs, positive-pay files, ACH processes and employee access to historical payroll documents.

That means MHC can be deeply involved in the payroll experience without necessarily being the organization’s underlying payroll calculation or HR master system.

See how MHC payroll document automation works.

W-2s, W-2Cs and 1095-Cs

MHC separately identifies Employee Tax Documents as its own NorthStar capability.

The current product covers generation and delivery of W-2s, W-2Cs, 1095-Cs and additional employee tax documents, with secure digital self-service and print delivery options.

Because tax documents have a distinct annual workflow and strong former-employee intent, we cover them separately in MHC employee tax documents and W-2 access.

HR Documents Beyond Payroll

Not every employee document is a pay statement or tax form.

MHC’s Employee Documents product explicitly covers contracts, compensation statements and benefits agreements and includes acknowledgement tracking for policies, agreements and updates.

That creates a broader HR-document layer addressed in our MHC Employee Documents guide.

MHC and Infor

MHC has a particularly well-documented relationship with Infor Lawson and Infor CloudSuite environments.

Its current Infor integration page describes pre-built connections supporting payroll and HR document distribution as well as procure-to-pay, invoice and payment workflows. MHC says its functionality can complement both existing Lawson environments and organizations moving toward CloudSuite.

Our MHC and Infor integration guide explains why users may see MHC alongside Lawson or CloudSuite without those systems being the same product.

Finance and Accounts Payable

The other major side of NorthStar is vendor-facing automation.

MHC’s current AP platform can capture invoice information, route approvals, validate general-ledger coding, maintain visibility into outstanding liabilities and move approved invoices toward ACH or check payment.

MHC also operates a dedicated Payment Automation offering covering ACH, checks, positive-pay files, remittance documents and its newer Payments Plus capabilities.

See MHC AP and payment automation for that part of the platform.
