Employee & Manager Self-Service

When employees can handle routine HR tasks themselves — and managers can approve requests without waiting for email chains — HR teams recover significant time. PCL One's self-service module gives every municipal employee access to the HR information and actions relevant to them, from any device, with role-based access controls and a complete audit trail.

Employee self-service capabilities

  • Access pay information and statements (linked from payroll system where applicable)
  • View and request leave balances across all leave types and banks
  • Submit time entries and timesheets electronically
  • Access personal employment information and update designated fields
  • Complete assigned training and view certification status
  • View onboarding tasks and policy acknowledgements
  • Receive notifications for approvals, renewals, and upcoming deadlines

Manager self-service capabilities

  • Approval queues for time, leave, and scheduling requests
  • Team dashboards with real-time attendance and leave visibility
  • Review and action performance check-ins and reviews
  • Monitor certification and training compliance across the team
  • Access to team HR information within role-based security scope

Mobile-first design

  • Full feature parity on mobile devices — not a cut-down companion app
  • Works on personal or Town-issued devices
  • Field staff (Public Works, Utilities, Fire) can complete HR tasks without needing a desktop: "desktop-free" operation
  • Biometric authentication support (Face ID, Touch ID)

What this replaces

  • Phone calls to HR for pay stubs and leave balances
  • Email-based time approval workflows with no audit trail
  • Paper forms for leave requests and policy acknowledgements
  • Manual certification reminders tracked by HR
