Dubai: The Dubai Smart Government Department (DSG) has launched a smartphone app that provides government employees a list of dedicated self-services, perpetuating the city’s shift to an eGovernment.

Employees who work for government entities using the Government Resource Planning Systems, can use the app to manage leave requests and inquire about their leave balance and attendance records. The ‘Smart Employee’ app also allows users to obtain information related to their payroll, including pay slips, and search for another employee’s contact information. Other features include the possibility for an employee to write personal notes with alerts and send notes to managers. To ensure privacy, employees can choose whether or not to show his or her photo, job grade and mobile phone number. The app also allows managers to view a list of key performance indicators.

The ‘Smart Employee’ app is available on Apple Store and Google Play. It can be used in either English or Arabic.
