A good Employee Portal contains information from the HR department but should provide much more. All information is subject to company defined security policy, allowing the employee to view only the information he or she is authorized to view. It provides a secure unified access point often in the form of a web-based User Interface.
Employee Self Service portals can be described as a specific set of Enterprise Portals and are used to give an interface for employees to personalized information, resources, applications, and e-commerce options.
