Employee Self Service (ESS) is the process and associated technology which offers employees the opportunity to log on, view, print, and edit personal information. The goal of acquiring an ESS platform is to "push" to the employees the management of their personal information, thus relieving the HR and/or Payroll Department from handling paper and making updates. The employees became true "owners" of their data.
