CheckMark Online Payroll provides an Employee Self-Service (ESS) portal, allowing employees to conveniently manage different aspects of their employment. With an ESS portal, employees can access and update their personal information, view and download their pay slips, and access important documents. They can also view and download their pay stubs, which provide a breakdown of their earnings, deductions, and taxes. They can also access and print important tax forms such as W-2s enabling them to easily file their taxes accurately. It is important to note that the ESS portal allows your employees to change their password at any time. This feature ensures that your employees can maintain the security and confidentiality of their accounts by periodically updating their login credentials.
