Important highlights from this release

This release of Employee Self Service will provide phase one of Absence Management (AESOP) integration improvements. This will include the ability to pull all of the data templates from Absence Management including Absences. New templates are required on the Absence Management side of the integration. As part of this release we also have the ability to sync Leave Balances back to Absence Management. There are more features to come in the 2024.3.0 and 2024.4.0 releases.

You can reach out to absencesupport@frontlineed.com and include the notes “HR Kiosk to ESS Transition” to get started on the integration. This will route the request to their Technical Support team.
