Self service

Self-service that actually gets used.

Payslips, leave balances, documents and requests, available to the employee directly instead of arriving as a question for HR.

Capabilities

What employees can do without asking

Payslips and salary certificates

Every payslip available from the run it belongs to, and certificates generated on request rather than typed up by someone.

Leave balance and booking

The live balance, what is booked, what is pending, and a request form that routes itself to the right approver.

Personal details and documents

Address and bank changes submitted for approval, with documents stored against the record rather than emailed around.

Ask the agent directly

Policy questions answered from your own handbook and the local labour law, within the permissions of the person asking.

How it fits together

The questions self service actually removes

A large share of what an HR team fields each month is not HR work. It is lookups. What is my balance, where is my payslip, can I get a salary certificate for my bank.

Self service

Answers without asking

Every one of those is a question the employee could answer themselves if the answer were somewhere they could reach.

What it looks like in practice

A self-service portal nobody opens is worse than none at all, because it creates the impression the work is handled while the questions keep arriving by another route. Keeping the common tasks to one or two taps is what decides whether it gets used.

In practice

A month of questions that never get asked

The requests below are the ones HR teams field most often, and every one of them is a lookup.

  1. Where is my payslip

    Available from the run it belongs to, for every period, without anyone generating a copy.

  2. How much leave do I have

    The live balance with what has accrued, what is booked and what is pending, visible before the request is made rather than after.

  3. I need a salary certificate

    Generated on request from the record rather than drafted, signed and emailed by a person.

  4. My bank details changed

    Submitted and routed for approval, updating the record that payroll reads rather than an email someone has to action.

  5. What does the policy say

    Answered by Tio from your own handbook and the local labour law, within the permissions of the person asking.

What arrives as a message, and what does not

FAQ

Common questions

How do we know if people are actually using it?

Adoption shows up as a fall in inbound requests rather than as a usage statistic. If the same questions keep arriving by message, the portal is not doing its job regardless of what the login count says.

Does self service work on mobile?

Yes, and for most employees it is the primary surface rather than a reduced version of a desktop experience.

Can employees see each other's information?

Only what your permission scopes allow, which for most organisations means the directory and reporting lines rather than pay or personal data.

See it running on your own data.

We will show the module working against records that look like yours, not a generic demo.
