UKG Employee Self-Service (ESS) lets employees handle their own HR basics — viewing schedules and timesheets, checking pay stubs, requesting time off, updating personal information, and submitting availability changes — through the UKG portal, the mobile app, or a shared kiosk, without going through HR for every question. This guide covers what ESS includes, what employees can actually do with it, where they access it, and how organizations extend it for frontline teams.
What Employees Can Do with UKG Self-Service
The fastest way to understand ESS is by task. Employees can view their schedule, check their timesheet, view current and past pay stubs, request time off, check PTO and accrual balances, submit availability changes, and request to fill open shifts. Each link above is a step-by-step guide. For a usage-focused overview, see the top 5 usages of UKG self-service.
Where Employees Access Self-Service
ESS lives in three places: the UKG web portal (desktop, full feature set), the UKG mobile app (schedules, timesheets, requests on the go), and increasingly on shared kiosks or tablets at the worksite — the option that matters most for frontline teams who don’t sit at desks and may not install work apps on personal phones.
