Self-managed employee profiles
Employees can maintain key personal and employment details in their own profile. Updates flow through to the employer's view, keeping the HR record current and ready for any follow-up action.
Employee self service
Give employees a secure way to take part in HR.
Employee self service is built across the workit HRIS. Staff manage their profile and use the leave, forms, compliance, policy and performance tools made available to them - while roles and permissions keep access appropriate.

Not another standalone module
The employee side of your connected HR platform.
Employees are active participants in HR, not just records in a database. They need a simple place to keep their details current, complete assigned actions and make workplace requests.
workit gives each employee access to the same connected platform your HR team uses, shaped around their role and the modules your organisation has activated. Their actions flow back into the employer view, reducing duplicate entry and routine administration.
Employee self service capabilities
One login for every employee action you enable.
Make the right HR tools available to employees without creating another disconnected portal or process.
Roles and permissions
Suitable access controls determine what each employee can see and do, so people can participate in HR processes without being exposed to information outside their role.
One employee workspace
Each person gets a clear self-service area inside your workit environment, bringing together the profile, tasks, requests and platform tools available to them.
Leave requests and balances
Employees can view relevant leave information, submit requests and follow the process without relying on email exchanges with HR or their manager.
Custom forms and requests
Complete the forms your organisation makes available - from expenses and equipment requests to customer-specific workplace processes - with submissions routed into the right workflow.
Compliance participation
Employees can provide licences, certificates and other required evidence, helping HR maintain accurate compliance records and act on items that need attention.
Policies and documents
Give staff access to relevant documents and policies, with the ability to complete acknowledgements and other required actions from the same platform.
Performance activities
When enabled, employees can take part in probation reviews, performance reviews and other assigned activities without moving into a separate system.
Access from any device
Employees can use workit from desktop, tablet or mobile browser, making self service practical for office, field, remote and multi-site workforces.
Connected by design
What employees do becomes useful HR data.
Profile updates, requests, forms, policy acknowledgements and assigned activities stay connected to the workit platform. Employees get a clearer experience, while employers retain visibility and can review or action information where needed.
- Employee updates flow to the employer view

HR stays informed
Employee activity flows into the connected employer view, where the right people can review and act.
Access stays appropriate
Roles, permissions and your activated modules determine each employee's available information and actions.
FAQ
Employee self service, answered.
What is an employee self service portal?+
Employee self service, often called ESS, gives employees secure access to their own HR information and workplace tasks. In workit, employee self service is a core platform experience rather than a disconnected module: employees use the parts of the HRIS that their organisation has enabled for them through employee self service.
What can employees do through employee self service in workit?+
Depending on the modules and permissions enabled by their employer, employee self service in workit lets staff manage profile details, submit leave, complete custom forms, provide compliance evidence, acknowledge policies, access documents and participate in performance reviews and other employee self service tasks.
Can every employee see the same information through employee self service?+
No. Roles and permissions determine what employee self service users can see and what actions they can perform through employee self service. This lets organisations provide useful employee self service access while keeping appropriate controls around HR information and workflows.
What happens when an employee updates their profile through employee self service?+
The updated information flows through from employee self service to the employer's view in workit, helping maintain one current employee record and giving the HR team visibility where review or follow-up of the employee self service change is required.
Does employee self service work on mobile?+
Yes. Employee self service can be accessed through a desktop, tablet or mobile browser, which means employee self service supports field workers, remote teams and employees across multiple locations.
How does employee self service reduce HR administration?+
Employee self service moves routine updates, requests and employee actions into structured platform workflows. Employees complete the right task themselves through employee self service, while HR receives the resulting information in the same connected HRIS rather than chasing emails and re-entering data.
Is workit's employee self service built and supported in Australia?+
Yes. workit's employee self service experience is built in Australia and supported by a local Australian team, with employee self service workflows shaped by Australian workplace practice.
Is employee self service included in workit's price?+
Yes. Employee self service is included in workit's standard $5 per employee per month price - employee self service is a core capability of the HRIS, not a separately priced add-on.
