Employee Self Service

EmpowHR Employee Self Service (ESS) is a Web application offering employees direct online access to Human Resources (HR) information such as benefits and compensation data. ESS reduces the number of phone calls and paperwork in and out of the HR office. ESS provides the ability to initiate an online training request or other requests (e.g., address, email, emergency contact information, phone number, leave without pay (LWOP), change in work schedule). The requests are electronically submitted for approval to the appropriate individual(s). This allows the employee to take responsibility for data entry and accuracy of personal information.
