Manager Self-Service
MSS automates workflows and delivers data for better decisions
Through MSS, managers can quickly and easily access pertinent employee information from anywhere. Data for multiple employees can be analyzed and compared simultaneously. The company leave calendar enables managers to allocate resources more effectively. Compa-ratio metrics and salary modeling tools assist managers in making equitable salary decisions while gauging the organizational and budgetary implications of their decisions. MSS also offers workflow capabilities that allow HR to create flexible approval processes that fit within existing company guidelines. Managers can initiate and approve changes within MSS, freeing HR staff to focus on other responsibilities. Every workflow action in MSS triggers an automated e-mail to affected approvers so a task is never overlooked. When managers add comments to a decision, everyone in the process is fully informed. Employees are instantly notified when an action is taken on their leave requests. MSS simplifies and expedites communication through automation.

Employee Self-Service
Ascentis Employee Self Service (Ascentis ESS) gives employees immediate access to all of their personal HR, benefits, and payroll information via the Web. The simplicity of Ascentis ESS drastically reduces the call volume to both the human resources and payroll departments.
