ESS (Employee Self-Service) Portal is a core HR application used for employee data management, leave requests, and other HR-related workflows.
ESS Project Functions
1. HR & Payroll Self-Service
Employees can submit leave/vacation requests, view balances, and track approvals directly through the ESS portal. The system manages cut-off dates for requests and ensures that employees cannot cancel after deadlines.
Payroll deductions related to specific activities (such as resort reservations) are automated, with options to define deduction percentages and profit-share installments.
Employees can access and manage their personal documents and HR records, supporting digital HR operations.
2. Reservation & Benefits Management
The ESS includes modules for special programs, such as resort reservations for employees. This module handles:
Reservation dates and cut-off management
Unit pricing and availability
Automated confirmation and follow-up emails (including surveys after use)
Integration with payroll for deductions
3. Workflow Automation & Approvals
All requests (leave, benefits, settlements, etc.) are routed through automated workflows for approval, reducing manual HR intervention and increasing transparency. [ESS problem]
Employees receive notifications and confirmations for their requests, and HR can monitor pending actions and settlements. [ESS problem]
4. Integration with ERP & Other Systems
ESS is integrated with the broader ERP system, allowing for seamless data flow between HR, payroll, and other business modules. This supports functions like employee document management and payroll processing.
