Company-controlled
Worker access is designed inside a controlled payroll system, so you stay in charge of the workflow.
People Desk
You can support employee self-service with worker-access and onboarding workflows without splitting payroll context away from your main payroll desk.
Employee self-service should reduce friction for workers without making you lose the record, the approval path, or the operational context.

Worker access matters, but it still has to fit your payroll process. You keep that workflow tied to the same company and payroll records.
Company-controlled
Worker access is designed inside a controlled payroll system, so you stay in charge of the workflow.
Onboarding and records
Employee-facing steps focus on onboarding, records, and related workforce workflows rather than a detached portal story.
Role-based
Worker access stays bounded by role-based access and session protections.
Employee self-service matters because your workers still need a way to participate in onboarding, records, and payroll-adjacent tasks without routing everything through one overloaded inbox.
The key is keeping that access tied to your payroll record and approval model.
You can keep worker access tied to your payroll workflows, workforce records, and onboarding steps.
That keeps self-service useful without turning it into a separate product with a separate truth.
Employee access does not eliminate your review. Employees can act inside the product, but you still own approvals and downstream payroll execution.
That keeps responsibilities clear while giving workers useful access.
Yes. You can offer worker access and employee-facing workflows, especially around onboarding, records, and company-controlled access patterns.
No. Employee workflows stay inside company-managed payroll and approval boundaries.
Because onboarding, records, and payroll-adjacent worker actions are easier for you to review when they stay tied to the same company and payroll context.
