Smart RH is the human resources management portal used by Altran employees, now integrated into the Capgemini group. Accessing this space allows you to view your pay slips, request leave, or update your personal information. The platform, hosted by Cegedim SRH, functions as a one-stop shop for all administrative procedures related to employment.
Smart RH Altran Authentication: What Really Blocks Connection
The majority of access difficulties to Smart RH do not stem from a technical issue with the portal. They arise from an incorrectly entered identifier or an expired password without the employee being notified.
The login address goes through a Cegedim SRH subdomain (of the type smartrXXX.apps.cegedim-srh.net). Each company has a specific code in the URL. If you type a generic address found on a search engine, you risk landing on the portal of another entity in the group.
To find information on Rennes Blog, a detailed guide lists the connection steps specific to the Altran space.
Your identifier generally corresponds to your employee number, sometimes preceded by a prefix related to the legal entity. This employee number appears on your pay slip, in the header. If you have just joined the company, it may take a few days before your account is active in the system.
The initial password is temporary and must be changed upon first login. If you do not change it within the allotted time, the account will be locked. The reset procedure goes through the professional email address registered in the system. Make sure this address is yours, especially after a job change or internal transfer.
Navigating the Cegedim SRH Portal: Pay Slips, Leave, and Personal Data
Once logged in, the interface presents itself in the form of modules accessible from a main menu. Three functions concentrate almost all daily consultations.
Digital Pay Slips
Pay slips are archived in a digital safe integrated into the portal. Each pay slip remains accessible for several years, even after leaving the company, as long as the safe remains active. The PDF format guarantees the document’s evidential value.
To download a pay slip, select the relevant period in the dedicated module. The download generates a file that is electronically signed. Keep a local copy on a personal device: in case your access to the portal is closed, this backup remains your only guarantee.
Leave and Absence Management
The leave module displays your balance in real-time. Submit your requests directly from the portal so they can be forwarded to the hierarchical validator. The validation process depends on the organization of your entity: some managers receive an email notification, while others validate only from their own Smart RH space.
Have you noticed that a request remains stuck in “pending” status for several weeks? The problem often comes from an absent validator or an approval circuit not updated after a team reorganization. Contact your local HR manager to resolve the situation.
Updating Personal Data
Change of address, bank details, or family situation: these modifications are declared in the “Personal Data” module. Any change of bank details generally requires supporting documentation (scan of bank account details). The processing time varies according to the payroll calendar, expect a full cycle to see the impact on your transfer.
Protection of HR Data and European Regulatory Framework
HR portals like Smart RH handle sensitive data: compensation, family situation, sick leave. The legal framework governing these processes is evolving, and two points deserve the users’ attention.
- The GDPR requires employers to inform you about the purpose of each processing of your personal data. You can request a complete export of your data through your HR manager or the company’s DPO.
- Since February 2, 2025, Article 5 of the AI Act prohibits AI systems intended to infer an employee’s emotions in the workplace. If a module of the HR portal includes a form of behavioral analysis, this practice is now prohibited.
- European obligations regarding “high-risk” AI in HR (automated recruitment, performance scoring) have been postponed to December 2, 2027. However, HRIS vendors must anticipate the requirements for human oversight and documentation of algorithms.
These developments do not change your daily experience on the portal today, but they explain why some advanced features (predictive analysis, automatic suggestions) are slow to appear in French HRIS.
Resolving Common Issues on Smart RH Altran
Several situations frequently arise among users of the portal. Here are the identified causes and appropriate responses.
- White screen after login: the browser is blocking a JavaScript script required by the portal. Disable ad-blocking extensions on the cegedim-srh.net domain, then reload the page.
- “Account locked” message: after several failed attempts, the system locks access. Use the “Forgot Password” function, which sends a reset link to your registered email address. If this address is no longer valid, only your HR department can manually unlock the account.
- Pay slip missing for a given month: the deposit in the digital safe occurs after payroll closing. A delay of a few days is normal at the beginning of the month. If it exceeds a week, report the anomaly to your payroll manager.
- Access from a mobile device: the Cegedim SRH portal is accessible via a mobile browser, but the interface is not optimized for small screens. Prefer landscape mode on a tablet for comfortable reading of pay tables.
The Smart RH portal remains a consultation tool, not a communication channel with HR. For any complex request (disputing a payroll item, mobility request), go through your direct HR contact rather than searching for a form in the portal. The Smart RH space centralizes your documents, not your exchanges.
