What activities can a manager complete using Manager Self-Service? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question

Question

Options

• AControl costs
• BEnroll in benefits
• CEnter time sheet
• DManage budget

• A
  95% (18)
• B
  5% (1)

Explanation

Manager Self-Service (MSS) is designed specifically for managerial responsibilities - controlling costs (A) and managing budgets (D) are core functions because MSS gives managers financial oversight tools to monitor and adjust spending within their departments or teams.

Option B (Enroll in benefits) is incorrect because benefit enrollment is an Employee Self-Service (ESS) function - it applies to individual employees managing their own personal HR data, not managers acting in a supervisory capacity.

Option C (Enter time sheet) is also an ESS function - employees record their own time, while managers typically approve timesheets through MSS, not enter them.

Memory tip: Think of the split as "Me vs. My Team." ESS = things you do for yourself (benefits, your own timesheet). MSS = things you do as a manager (budgets, costs, headcount decisions). If the action sounds like financial oversight of a team, it belongs in MSS.
