About the TK Requests Tab
Use this tab to set up and maintain requests that become visible to teachers and staff in the Staff Kiosk Payroll/HR top menu.
Examples of requests could be employee address changes, bank account detail changes or leave requests.
This option references ‘Teacher Kiosk' or 'TK’. From Version 53 'Teacher Kiosk' was renamed 'Staff Kiosk'.
Attributes of a request are:
They appear as menu options for teachers and staff under the Staff Kiosk Payroll/HR top menu.
Because each request is a separate menu item, you can use TASS.web System Admin > Users > Portal Security Permissions to determine the teachers and staff who will have access it.
When a teacher or staff member completes a request, it is sent via email and cc'd to a designated person (e.g. The Pay Office or HR Officer).
The content that the teacher or staff member enters can be saved as either a standard or confidential note on the employee record.
Click the 'New Request' button to create a new request.
