Introduction:

Employee self-service is an essential part of any HRMS. It provides employees access to their personal records. Apart from this, employees are also enabled to do much of their HR operations like applying for leave, accessing their timesheets, viewing necessary policy documents and more. An efficient ESS not just empowers employees to handle their basic activities by themselves, it also helps HR save time.

As an admin, everything that is pertaining to an employee can be viewed right on the self-service page. All it takes is a quick search with the employee's name or other keywords like a nickname or mobile number. All the details of the employee like leave, attendance, files shared and related forms can be seen here. List of team members can be viewed and they can be contacted right from this page.

Personal Settings 

The personal settings is an exclusive space for each employee to personalize their account and information. Learn more about Personal Settings.

Self-service tabs

For the User, the Self-service page serves as a focal point from where many of their day to day activities like applying for leave, viewing leave balance, logging attendance, logging time, updating personal information and much more can be done effortlessly, without the need to scuffle between tabs.

Apart from the self-service, employees can look up for information from several other tabs. The first one is the organization tab. Here is where employees can view everything pertaining to the org set up. For example, if employees want to see the org tree or the department tree, this is where they will go to. The announcements, departments, designations, etc can also be seen here. If there are groups or tasks that a User is assigned to, then they will be able to see them populated here. Similarly, any reports that are shared with a User can be seen here. If a reporting manager would like to approve requests raised by subordinates, then it can be done in the 'Approvals' tab.

The Self-service page gives a complete view of the following:

Profile:

You will be able to view your complete profile like personal details, Skill Sets, your Reporting Manager and the list of your reportees.

To start a conversation:

  • Hover the cursor over the name of the Reporting Manager or any of the reportees

  • Click on the 'Chat' icon to start chatting

Click here to know more  files

Related forms:

In the Self-service page, you will be able to view all the related forms. Related Forms Configuration lets you view records or add records of a form which is related to the original form by means of a lookup field. If there is a form (F1) and a form (F2) with the second form being the related form for the first one, then the records of the second form can be viewed or added from the first form itself.

For eg, if there is an asset request added by the employee or a training registration done by the employee in the training registration form, (with the employee form as the base form) then the employee will be able to see these requests in the self-service page itself.

Apart from all that has been listed above, an employee will be able to see the tabular columns of the employee form also in the Self-service page. For eg., if the educational qualification and previous work experience details are available as tabular columns, then it will show as separate tabs in the Self-service page.
