Features of an Employee Self Service Portal

Every business owner is happy after accomplishing the best at the end of the day. There are employee management tools available on a remotely accessible portal that allows you to keep track of your daily progress.

Here are five prominent features to look for in an employee self service portal.

Employee information When hired, new employee(s) complete their paperwork which includes personal information, residential address, emergency contacts, blood group, etc. The HR department has to update the data from papers that pile up over time.

Using the ESS portal, employees can save time for HR. After signing in to the system, they can update information with a few mouse-clicks. Both employees and HR save time, and the organization saved money and paper cost lost in printing.

Benefits information Employee Self Service Portal allows employees to view and manage their enrolment benefits.

Employees receive an orientation package when they are hired. However, sometimes they might wish to refer to the details and make changes to their status.

The ESS portal shows the allowed coverage by the service providers of their network. The employees can use the information to contact the right individual when they encounter any issues.

This would prevent unnecessary phone calls or emails.

The organization can publish relevant information and updates for all employees using the ESS portal. As a result, business owners, supervisors, and managers can save time spent on meetings.

Financial information Generally, employees have lots of questions for HR regarding financial information. The answers to common problems can be published over the ESS system. This would ideally save time for all other staff members.

Employee Self Service Portal offers enhanced direct deposit management that saves time. When a blank cheque is submitted with the HR department, it takes weeks to process and update the information. Employees can modify and update changes on their own using the ESS system.

Time tracking The most popular feature of the ESS system is the time tracking feature. At the basic level, most ESS portals function as a time clock. When they begin work, employees sign in and sign out at the end of the day.

This stored information helps the employees of the payroll department to calculate the working hours.

At the end of the month, the employee gets due salary/wage based on hours worked.

There are ESS portals with self-management options – available sick leave, accumulated PTO, and overtime scheduling. Access to this information enables employees to understand the possible benefits.

ESS system is used for informing hourly employees about their weekly schedules in advance. There are fewer chances of confusion amongst employees who are trying to understand their shift timings. The ESS portals can also be accessed remotely. Even employees working off-site can refer to the critical timetracking tool.

Overall empowerment The most significant feature and benefit of the ESS system is the empowerment of employees. This system frees time for both HR and payroll departments. Employees get access to the most valuable features (employee benefits, financial information, duration of work, personal information).

TimeLabs offers a comprehensive fleet of employee self service portal. This provides employees with overall empowerment. Thus, they can save their precious time and engage in other important tasks.
