What is ESS?

Employee Self Service (ESS) describes a service allowing employees to individually manage their personal details and human resource operations. After all, who knows your employees better than themselves?

ESS solutions streamline everyday HR operations by reducing double-handling, paperwork and processing time for payroll officers and managers. Employees gain visibility over their details and the ability to:

  • update contact details

  • view leave balances

  • apply for leave

  • view detailed payment summaries

  • view superannuation contributions

  • update timesheets


ESS solutions can also be accessed from an online portal or smartphone, meaning you don’t need to be in the office to manage your details.

But ESS systems aren't just about empowering employees to take responsibility and manage their own personal details. Employee Self Service applications also speed up communication between staff and managers, provide greater auditability, and help managers stay informed about their workforce capacity.

Role-based security means managers, HR and payroll officers, or other authorised personnel can

  • view leave schedules

  • approve or reject leave

  • update contact details or approve changes

  • manage separation of duties

  • manage multiple leave approval structures

  • approve or reject employee timesheets


Of course, since every organisation and role maintains its own hierarchies and management structures, ESS solutions are highly customisable placing visibility and control in the right hands. Sybiz Employee Self Service integrates directly with our Sybiz Visipay solution to streamline your operations even more, seamlessly managing the full range of human resource and payroll capability your business needs.
