Staff Self-Service Portal: Empowering Your Team

5 min read15 April 2026

Summary

Give your staff the tools to manage their own time tracking without burdening your admin team. The Staff Self-Service Portal lets employees view their timesheet, roster, payslips and more — all from a simple, secure login on the web or the mobile app.

Finding Your Way Around: The Menu

Everything lives behind a single menu button (☰) in the top-left corner. Tap it and a menu slides in from the left with every section, a link to this guide, and a sign-out button. Kiosk — the clock in/out terminal — is the first item, so you're always one tap away from clocking in. Below it you'll find each of your sections (the exact list depends on your employer's plan):

Monitoring

  • See your current work status (clocked in, on break, not working)
  • View today's shifts with clock in/out times
  • Check weekly hours and recent shift count

Timesheet

  • Read-only weekly timesheet with daily breakdown
  • Clock in/out times, break duration, hours worked per day
  • Navigate between weeks to review past timesheets
  • Message your manager about disputes or corrections

Roster

  • View scheduled shifts for the week
  • See start/end times and assigned shop
  • Request shift swaps with colleagues and subscribe to your roster by email

Time Off

  • Request leave and mark the days you're unavailable
  • Track approval status

Payslips & Mileage

  • View and download your payslips, and raise a query on any pay run
  • Submit mileage claims with routes, vehicles and receipts

Working at More Than One Shop

If you're assigned to several shops, the menu includes a shop switcher at the top so you can flip between them — your timesheet, roster and other sections update to match the shop you pick.

Auto-Logout for Shared Devices

When staff access the portal from a shared kiosk device, a 2-minute auto-logout timer ensures the next person can't see their data. The timer counts down visibly so staff know when they'll be logged out.

Reducing Admin Queries

Before self-service, staff would ask managers "how many hours did I work?" or "what's my roster?". Now they can check themselves, freeing up admin time for more important tasks.
