Regardless of business size, many organizations face the problem of having a limited human resources staff who must process HR needs and paperwork for many other employees. With a kiosk, a short staffed HR team streamlines red tape tasks that take up precious time.

At an HR kiosk station, employees can print pay stubs or forms.
