The enhanced system enables:
- Complete digitization of employee service history.
- Authentication of service records.
- Faster pension authorization.
- Paperless HR administration.
- Automatic payroll processing based on approved service events.
- Reduction of manual errors.
- Improved transparency and accountability.
Modules Available in e-SR 2.0
The upgraded application contains the following modules:

How does e-SR 2.0 Workflow Function?
The Government has introduced a simplified verification mechanism for digitization.
| Stakeholder | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Government Employee | Upload scanned Physical Service Register and enter all service events. |
