TracefyHR employee self-service dashboard with check-in, leave balance and payslips

In a small company HR spends a surprising part of the week answering the same questions: how many leave days do I have left, can you send my payslip, can you update my address. An employee self-service portal lets people answer those themselves and keeps HR's records current.

Every TracefyHR employee gets a portal on the web and the free TracefyHR app for iPhone and Android. They check in and out, request leave and see their balance, download payslips, and update the profile fields you allow them to edit. Managers approve requests from the same app.

What employees can do on their own

Check in and out

One tap on the web or in the app, with offline check-in when there is no signal.

Request time off

See the balance for each leave type, request days, and follow the request until it is approved.

Download payslips

Open each finalized month's payslip as a PDF.

Keep details current

Update the profile fields you mark as editable, such as phone number, address or emergency contact.

See the org chart and documents

Find colleagues in the directory and org chart, and view the documents HR has added to their profile.

Use your company tools

Use the custom forms and request tools your team builds with Forge AI, such as an equipment request.

    Decide which profile fields employees can change themselves and which stay with HR.

  3. 3

    Employees install the app

    They sign in on the web or with the free iPhone or Android app, and can turn on Face ID or fingerprint sign-in.

  4. 4

    Managers approve on the go

    Managers approve leave requests and attendance corrections from the approvals screen in the app.

Employee self-service portal FAQ

Is there a mobile app for employees?

Yes. The TracefyHR app is free on the App Store and Google Play. Employees can check in, request leave, download payslips and see the directory, and managers can approve requests.

Can employees update their own information?

Yes, for the fields you allow. Each profile field can be set as editable by the employee or kept for HR only.

Does the employee app work offline?

Check-ins do: they are saved on the phone and synced when it reconnects. Other actions need a connection.

How do employees get access?

When you add someone, they receive a welcome email with a temporary password that is valid for 48 hours. They sign in on the web or in the app.

Can employees see each other's salaries?

No. Payslips are private to each employee, and the org chart does not show salaries.

Does the portal cost extra?

No. Self-service and the mobile app are included in every plan, from $20 a month for up to 15 employees, with a 30-day free trial.
