Frequently Asked Questions
ESS Mobile is an Employee Self-Service (ESS) application that allows employees to access HR-related services directly from their mobile device, including profile management, leave requests, attendance verification, appraisals, and internal notifications.
ESS Mobile is available only to authorized employees of the organization with valid login credentials issued or approved by the HR or IT department.
ESS Mobile provides access to personal profile management, leave and permission applications, attendance and geolocation-based check-in/check-out, appraisal and performance management, internal notifications, and other employee self-service modules. Features may vary based on organizational configuration.
The App may collect your name, email address, telephone number, date of birth, employee ID and job information, device information, usage logs, and geolocation data (with permission). All information collected is necessary to provide ESS services securely.
No. ESS Mobile does not link to, access, or collect any data from social media platforms.
Location access is used strictly for attendance verification, clock-in/clock-out validation, security purposes, and compliance with organizational policies. The App does not track continuous movement.
Most features will still work. However, location-dependent functions such as attendance verification will not function without location permission.
ESS Mobile uses encrypted communication, secure authentication, access control mechanisms, limited internal data sharing, and regular security audits to protect user information.
Your data is shared only with authorized internal departments, approved service providers under strict confidentiality agreements, or regulatory authorities when legally required. Data is never sold or shared for marketing purposes.

Use the “Forgot Password” option on the login screen or contact the IT or HR helpdesk to request a reset.
