Employee Self-Service Portal: Manage Time Corrections & Requests Digitally
The SEAK Employee Self-Service Portal (ESS) puts requests and corrections right at your employees' fingertips — on any device, including mobile. Log bookings, flag discrepancies, and submit approvals digitally, with automatic sync to your time management system.
Why Digital Time Correction and Request Management Make All the Difference
Many organizations still handle requests and corrections through paper forms, email chains, or informal verbal exchanges. Reports of missed clock-ins, break adjustments, or time discrepancies consume valuable time, are difficult to track, and place an unnecessary administrative burden on HR teams and managers alike.
Today's employees expect to submit requests instantly from their mobile devices. Managers need clear visibility into outstanding action items, and HR requires consistent, reliable data for time management, reporting, and payroll. The SEAK Employee Self-Service Portal (MSP) brings it all together — combining digital submission, multi-level approval workflows, and automatic data transfer into a single, seamless end-to-end process.

Requests and corrections are submitted directly through the self-service portal — no paper, no email, no back-and-forth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Applications and Corrections
What Is the SEAK Employee Self-Service Portal (ESS)?
The SEAK Employee Self-Service Portal — MSP for short — brings together all digital self-service processes for employees, team leaders, and HR in a single platform: time corrections, requests, approvals, vacation and absence submissions, and mobile access to payroll documents. Employees can use the MSP at a terminal, at their workstation, or on the go via smartphone; managers handle multi-level approvals; and approved transactions flow automatically into time management.
What do "requests" and "corrections" mean?
This refers to digitally mapped workflows for correction requests and approvals — for example, when bookings are missing, actual hours deviate from planned hours, or similar HR-related events occur.
What's the difference between time correction and request management?
"Time correction" refers to the specific action of correcting time entries (e.g., a forgotten clock-in). "Request management" is the umbrella term for all structured requests — including time corrections, absences, and other HR workflows.
Who can submit requests?
Depending on your setup, employees can submit requests themselves or have them entered by team leads and managers — on mobile or desktop.
How do approvals work?
Approvals can be configured as direct, single-stage, or multi-stage workflows. Delegation rules and additional recipients for informational purposes are also fully supported.
How visible is your order status at any given moment?
The status of every request is visible at a glance. All stakeholders can see whether a submission is in progress, approved, or declined — including a full audit trail.
What value does HR actually deliver?
HR teams are relieved of administrative burden as requests are captured decentrally, approved through a structured workflow, and processed automatically. At the same time, data quality for time management and payroll improves significantly.
Can working hours be corrected retroactively?
Yes. Corrections to time entries, sequences, or breaks can be requested and approved in a structured workflow, then automatically updated in time management — with a clear, documented audit trail.
