Employee self-service

Staff get their own workspace — their record, their payslips, their leave — and managers get a view of their team. Nobody sees the whole business unless you gave them that.

What an employee sees

My Workspace shows one person their own:

  • Profile and employment details
  • Payslips
  • Leave balance, and a way to request leave
  • Attendance correction requests
  • Issued assets and benefit enrolments
  • Documents you have shared with them

They do not see anyone else's pay, the business's accounts, or any other module.

What a manager sees

Staff marked as managers also get My Team: their own reports, their leave requests, and approvals waiting on them. Still no access to the wider business.

Hybrid workspace

Some people are both. A supervisor who also serves customers can be given POS, Products or Inventory alongside their employee workspace — a hybrid setup where they run the till during a shift and check their own payslip afterwards, without owner-level access to anything.

Turning access on

Under Employee Access, create employee access for a person. They need an email for login on their employee record, or a phone number if access should match their mobile login.

Access is per person and revocable. Removing it leaves their employment record and history untouched — it only stops them signing in.

Why bother

It removes you from the middle. Payslip questions and leave balances stop arriving as WhatsApp messages on a Sunday.

Requests get a record. Leave asked for in a corridor is forgotten; leave requested in the system has dates, an approver and a decision.

People check their own details. Wrong phone numbers and out-of-date next-of-kin get fixed by the person who actually knows.

What to be careful about

Only give access to staff who need it. Every account is a way into your business, even a limited one — and an employee who has left should have access removed the same day.
