Manager Self Service Functional Guidance - ESR Hub

Administrator Self Service

Administrator Self Service provides the ability to view and update employee information on behalf of a Manager/Supervisor.  This can be particularly beneficial to organisations that prefer additional approvals to be in place, for example when a manager/supervisor of staff/teams is not an authorised signatory/budget holder. This gives the organisation more options and flexibility when implementing Manager Self Service to meet their internal business and audit requirements.

Appraisals in ESR

Using the Appraisal functionality in ESR further extends the use of Supervisor and Manager Self Service. It unlocks potential to create a paperless process that is trackable for both appraiser and appraisee. This functionality also provides the ability to report at organisation level on talent and achievement within departments. It allows organisations to focus on the quality of an appraisal, over and above confirming that one has taken place.

Multiple Supervisors

Multiple Supervisor functionality is used by organisations that have implemented Manager Self Service/Learning Management. They often find the need to allow more than one Manager/Supervisor to have the ability and access  to an Employee record. Multiple  Supervisors can be used so that one or more Manager can be responsible  to make changes to the employee record and approve notifications.

Pay Progression

The 2018 framework agreement on the reform of Agenda for Change (AfC) introduced provisions to move to a new pay system with faster progression to the top of pay bands through fewer pay step points. 

Employees who fall under the new terms will be expected to demonstrate that they should progress through the new pay structure, and a key change is that the manager will now open the pay step for the employee.

Supervisor Self Service

Supervisor Self Service in ESR enables supervisors to view employment information, but does not allow the ability to make assignment changes.
