In the HRIS employee self-service portal, which activity can nonsupervisory employees perform?

• A. Add a new dependent to benefits
• B. Enroll in a company stock plan
• C. Approve time-off requests
• D. Update payroll tax status

Answer: (A)

In HRIS self-service systems, nonsupervisory employees manage their own personal information and benefits-related changes. Adding a new dependent to benefits is exactly the kind of self-service task that affects an employee’s coverage and premiums without requiring a manager’s sign-off. It’s a personal eligibility update the employee can handle directly.

The other activities typically involve functions that either require higher-level access or approvals: stock plan enrollment often needs eligibility checks or HR/finance involvement, approving time-off requests is a supervisory duty, and updating payroll tax status is usually managed by payroll or HR administration. So adding a dependent to benefits best fits what nonsupervisory employees can do in the self-service portal.
