Employee self-service is an increasingly prevalent trend in human resources management that allows an employee to handle many job-related tasks (such as updates to personal information and submit leave requests, and obtain approvals) that otherwise would have fallen to management or administrative staff.

Employees enter their leave requests decentrally and submit them in the system. Leave requests can be forwarded by workflow to the relevant manager for approval. This process ensures that absences no longer have to be recorded by the central personnel department. In addition, this enables leave requests to be processed more efficiently and provides employees with greater transparency.

Offering employees the opportunity to enter their leave requests directly into the system, the amount of time and effort spent by administrators is significantly reduced. Employee Self-Service empowers employees by enabling them to take control of and responsibility for their own data.

The process begins when employees submit a leave request. Employees can refer to their leave accounts, time data, and open leave requests at any time.

As an additional source of information to aid decision making, managers can access, at any time, an overview of absences for the employees in their area of responsibility.

The manager decides whether to approve or reject the request, or whether to send the request back to the employee for correction.
