| Infra-support and Assets | Assets issued to employees can be tracked, by capturing issues and receipts of assets made. In addition, employees can make requests for support related to infrastructure which are viewable by supervisors and HR operations for action. |

| HR Forms | Typical employee requests for approval in areas like sabbaticals, complaints or similar topics can be initiated by employees and viewable by supervisors and HR operations – depending on how the work flow for these forms are configured. |
