Employee Self Service (ESS)
An employee self service portal: let employees serve themselves, so HR doesn't have to
Attendance, leave requests, payslips and profile updates shouldn't need an email to HR. Manitham's employee self service portal lets employees handle it themselves, from any device.

Let employees serve themselves, so HR doesn't have to
A big share of routine HR requests — 'what's my leave balance', 'can I get last month's payslip', 'I forgot to check in yesterday' — don't need a person on the other end. The employee self-service portal gives employees direct access to their own attendance, leave, payslips and profile details.
Because it's connected to the same employee record as every other module, what employees see is always current — no separate export or manual update from HR.
- Mark attendance and view attendance history
- Apply for leave and check real-time balances
- Download payslips and tax documents
- Update personal details and view employee documents
- Submit attendance regularization and other requests
