The ESS software has served to help in the paperless environment by allowing the uploading of employee documents and making the employee feel more empowered by the utilization of these abilities.”
The NextGen ESS application provides K-12 district employees access to view leave balance/history, current benefit elections, deductions, and direct deposit information, in addition to managing personal information. This added functionality results in streamlined processes for Human Resources and Payroll departments.

Howard, Human Resource Director of the Choctaw County Board of Education in Butler, Alabama stated, “I can see how ESS will greatly enhance and streamline our accounting department, especially by empowering our employees.
