Springbrook Online Applications
Summary
The Employee Self Service (ESS) online application is a web-based Human Resources portal that allows your employees to manage many of their HR tasks at their own convenience. Once an employee has set up an ESS account, they will be able to update personal and dependent information, view historical documents such as W2s and pay stubs, request time off and even submit timesheets.
This document provides a general overview of the elements that must be set up in order to use the ESS online application.
