, 1.1 Based on your study material:
(a) Identify the structural HR approach to HR administration (1 mark) that will allow
the sales representatives and other employees at DATS Incorporated to update their
skills/training records (and submit supporting documentation) and also allow for leave
applications and further approval by line managers on this system (4 marks).
Self-service portals
A self-service portal is an electronic access point to an organisation’s HR information or
HRIS, this can include company policies, payroll data for employees, their benefits and
personal information. One can usually access this via the organisational intranet and
sometimes also from other locations and it requires a unique username and password to
protect the security of the system . This is normally referred to as single sign on where
employees can complete transactions related to their own personal data. This is called
employee self-service (ESS)
(b) Provide two advantages of implementing such a system (identified in question 1.1 (a))
at DATS Incorporated (2 marks).
Self-service portals have a number of advantages including improving the speed which is
applicable to the case study scenario.
The workload of HR will be reduced as the employees can take care of simple transactions on
their own without the involvement of HR, this does not mean that HR will not be involved at
all.For instance there will not be any need for spreadsheets.
1.2 Taking into account the HR approach identified in question 1.1 above: (a) Do a
search on the internet to find two examples of HRIS vendors that offer the approach
mentioned above (question 1
(a)) which can assist employees at DATS Incorporated to update their skills/training
and also allow for leave applications without the HR Manager’s direct involvement
(although some approval might be needed on the system before finalisation). You must
only include the name of the HRIS vendor and a working URL (weblink) where the
functionality described above is clearly shown in your answer and in the URL (4 marks).
