# Employee Access Workflow
### Employee Access Workflow
**The "Employee Access" module in Pocket HRMS transforms the HRMS from just a data storage system into an active platform that manages IT resource access and provisioning for employees.**
Employee Access Module in **Pocket HRMS** helps your organization:
* Automatically provide IT assets to employees (Laptop, Email ID, VPN etc.)
* Modify access when employees are promoted or transferred
* Revoke access when employees resign or exit
Instead of manually informing IT team through emails or calls, the system will:
* Raise request
* Get approvals
* Notify IT team
* Maintain records of issued assets
All within Pocket HRMS itself.
