Employee Self Service
Overview
Employee Self-Service (ESS) lets your team members manage their own information and day-to-day tasks in Workmax, without having to email HR or a manager. Employees can update their personal, contact and bank details, view their payslips and documents, check their schedule, and submit time off, timesheets and expenses — all from a web browser or the Workmax mobile app.
Giving employees self-service access reduces the administrative burden on your HR and payroll teams, keeps records accurate and up to date, and gives your people 24/7 access to the information that matters to them.
