By Gabriele Kaier, 27.04.2017, Approx. 2 min reading time.
TimeTac offers a kind of web-based employee self service which enables employees to perform some functions for themselves such as clock in or out via web, view their timecard, request vacation time and more. Thus, employees get actively involved by accessing their personal records, updating their own data or creating individual reports. They can request leave, view overtime or time off. The feature enables managers to approve requests easily and efficiently through workflows and have full overview of employee working times and timesheets as well as export detailed reports in just a few minutes. Employee self service means self-responsibility, transparency and last but not least savings in administrative effort, costs, and time.
