What is Employee Self Service (ESS)?

Whether its updating your bank information or signing up for a training course, all employees will have access to manage their personal and professional employment information.

Employee Self-Service (ESS) is a component of SAP 6.0 that allows employees to access, change or view personal and employment information from a web browser. ESS is easy and user-friendly.

ESS is available from any computer within Broward County Public Schools and from home by typing in www.browardschools.com/ESS
