Key Features of a Comprehensive ESS
Personal Information Management
Employees can view and update their contact details, emergency contacts, address, phone number, and email address. This ensures the organization always has accurate and up-to-date information.
Payroll and Compensation
Access to pay stubs, tax forms (like W-2 or its local equivalent), and information on deductions and benefits contributions. Some systems even allow employees to manage direct deposit information.
Time and Attendance
Employees can view their attendance records, clock in and out (if integrated with timekeeping systems), request time off (vacation, sick leave, personal days), and check their leave balances. Managers can often approve or reject leave requests through the same system.
