Merit Me — Employee Self-Service

Overview

Merit Me is the employee self-service app (mobile-first, installable as a PWA). It opens as a standalone experience — from the Shell Me link or directly via your organisation’s Me URL.

Typical capabilities (exact tiles depend on your role and organisation policy):

Home	Greeting, today’s attendance status, balances, shortcuts
Attendance	Clock in / out (office geofence, GPS / field, or company policy)
Leave	Apply, view balances, cancel where allowed
Payslips	View approved payslips
Expenses	Submit and track claims
Approvals	Act on pending leave / expense / attendance items (managers)
Messages / Notices	HR messages and company notices
Profile	Contact details and notification preferences (policy-gated)
Privacy	PDPA access / correction / consent requests
