Employee Self-Service (ESS)¶

The ESS portal (/ess/...) is where employees do everything that's theirs — no HR ticket needed. Everything here is scoped to the signed-in employee.

Dashboard¶

/ess/dashboard — a greeting, leave balances, recent attendance, your open requests, company notices, and (for managers) a My Team panel with pending approvals.

Leave¶

/ess/leaves — view balances, apply for leave with a live cost & balance-after preview, and track each request's status. See Leave.

Attendance¶

Clock in / out / break from the portal, view your status, and raise an attendance correction if you missed a punch (it goes to your manager).

Payslips¶

/ess/payslips — your payslips as cards, filterable by month, each downloadable as a PDF (only ever your own). An active loans panel shows the EMI, amount repaid, and outstanding balance behind any salary-advance deduction on your payslip.

Tax¶

Tax Details (/ess/tax-details) — month-by-month actual-vs-forecast tax, retirement-fund breakdown, and SST/TDS split.
Tax Planning (/ess/tax-planning) — see your income and relief caps, and declare CIT / life / health insurance contributions (the modals show your currently-approved amounts so new declarations are clearly additive). A tip suggests how additional CIT would lower your tax.

Declarations need proof

If an exemption requires a supporting document, attach it when you declare — HR can't approve an unproven claim.

Profile self-update¶

Update your own profile. Low-risk fields (phone, emergency contact) save immediately; identity / payroll-critical fields (name, DOB, citizenship, PAN, bank details) are routed to HR for approval and applied only once approved.

Letters & certificates¶

Salary certificate — /ess/letters/salary-certificate (printable).
Bank salary-verification letter — emailed to a bank address you supply (/ess/letters/bank-salary-letter); sending it is your consent to share the figure.

Team & company¶

My Team (/ess/my-team) — your manager and direct reports.
Directory (/ess/directory) — search colleagues (names and work email; personal phone is hidden).
Who is Out (/ess/who-is-out) and Team Events (/ess/team-events) — leave board, birthdays, work anniversaries.
Holiday Calendar (/ess/holidays) — the active year's holidays, so you can plan leave.
Notices (/notices) — company announcements with an unread count and mark-as-read.

Onboarding wizard¶

A new joiner completes the 3-step onboarding wizard (/ess/onboarding) before they can access the rest of the portal — see Employees & Onboarding.
