If you want to configure Employee Center for French so it works with the Sparkrock solution in French, see Employee Center Setup for French (Canada).

Overview 

Employee Center is a central repository for information about your company. It provides employees with access to documents, calendars, and other information about the organization. It also provides access to personal information for employees and managers.

You may know Employee Center by one or more of its previous names: Employee WebApps (EWA), Altus Employee Portals (AEP), or simply the 'Portal'. Some of these older names and abbreviations persist as names for certain setup pages and functions. Regardless of the name, Employee Center places the power of the Sparkrock Manage solution in the hands of your organization's users.

For employees, Employee Center provides access to vacation balances, training registration, time sheets, pay stubs, qualifications, tax forms, tasks, purchase requisitions, payment requests, expense claims, time off requests, and employee schedules.

For managers, in addition to their own personal information, Employee Center provides access to HR requisitions, pending appraisals, time entry and time off approvals, and submitted purchase requisitions, payment requests, and expense claims. For employee scheduling, unit supervisors can review and adjust their unit schedules.

You can define the Employee Center configuration that best suits your organization. For example, you can provide employees with a wide variety of self-service tools and options for managing their own data and for submitting requests. Or you can limit their access to ‘view only’ or make certain information not visible at all, if that is the standard/preference within your organization.

Employee Center options you provide to employees serve two distinct functions:
