Employee self-service (ESS) is a secure portal and mobile experience that lets employees handle day-to-day HR tasks on their own—view payslips, update personal data, submit leave and expense requests, track attendance, and see schedules—without waiting on HR.
From the web or mobile app, employees can request leave and overtime, clock in/out (with GPS or kiosk/biometric options when connected), submit expenses, view payslips and tax/GOSI details, update profiles and documents, and track attendance and shift schedules in real time.
ZenHR routes requests to managers automatically, applies company rules and eligibility on the fly, and syncs approved items to other HR systems (attendance, payroll, documents). Fewer emails and spreadsheets mean faster cycles and cleaner, audit-ready records.
Approved timesheets, overtime, leave, and expenses from the employee self-service application feed straight into Attendance & Time Tracking and then Payroll so hours, allowances, and deductions are calculated automatically with no double entry across your HR systems.
Role-based permissions limit who sees or edits data, while approval chains, comments, and timestamps create a full audit trail. Mobile and web access are encrypted, and changes to personal info or bank details require approvals before they affect payroll or attendance.
Give your team control to manage their profiles, requests, and attendance — all in one intuitive platform.
