Employee self-service

Employee self-service (ESS) is a feature of modern workforce management software that gives staff direct access to their own information and scheduling tools. It reduces administrative burden on managers and empowers employees.

Common ESS features include:

• Viewing rotas and upcoming shifts
• Requesting annual leave and time off
• Swapping shifts with colleagues
• Clocking in and out
• Updating availability and preferences
• Accessing payslips and HR documents
• Communicating absence and sickness

ESS improves employee engagement by giving staff more control over their schedules. It also reduces the time managers spend answering questions and processing requests.

AceRota provides a fully featured employee self-service portal and mobile app for shift viewing, leave requests, shift swapping, and clocking in.
