Empower your staff and slash admin

EduPeople’s Employee Self Service (ESS) is about to make life so much easier for your school admin team and your employees.

The ESS app gives staff instant access to payslips and holiday booking, putting them in control and stopping them bombarding HR with queries.

And it removes admin burdens across your payroll and HR system.

Quick and eco-friendly

The ESS app is as easy for employees to use as online banking, with all the benefits of having information at their fingertips.

It allows staff to view and download their payslips and P60s.

They can request annual leave and other periods of absence, seeing their allowance immediately: no more need to decipher a wallchart in the staff room, book time to ask a manager or fill in paper forms. ESS is both quick and eco-friendly.

You can dramatically reduce queries to HR – who are often dealing with 20+ questions every week, according to our research. With employees in control of their own data, there are fewer queries and morale is boosted.

And of course, managers are also employees and have their own ESS to streamline their personal data.

When you have new starters, they can be given prior (but limited) access to ESS to complete their part of onboarding. They have an account set up on the app and can enter their bank details for their first payroll (saving your school more admin).

Instant access

The benefit is not just to schools. New employees can see their first day/week/month at a glance and click on links to policies such as fire safety training. So they know what to expect and nothing important is overlooked in their busy first few days.

And when staff leave, they retain access to the app for 30 days so they can download their final payslip and P45, avoiding more queries to HR. They can also download all their documents at the click of a button – ten years’ payslips if they wish, for example.

Your admin team will no longer have to send out duplicate P60s (lost in an employee’s overflowing email inbox).

Staff also have instant access to payslips they need at important moments such as making a mortgage application – giving them control and reducing stress.


A proven and trusted success

Thanks to ESS, School Business Managers and admin staff are free from mundane tasks such as data entry of names, addresses and bank details.

And even though employees can use ESS in multiple ways to make life easier, it is quick to do and couldn't be simpler.

It’s why all our EduPeople clients are using ESS – making it a proven success trusted by 172 schools.

EduPeople is alongside your employees and alongside your school.
