PeopleSoft HR Winter Release: Enhancement and Outage Information

November 13, 2018

PeopleSoft and all external system transmissions to PeopleSoft will be unavailable starting on Friday, December 7th at 5:00pm until Monday, December 10th at 8:00am (at the latest) due to the 2018 winter release

Users will see the following changes on Monday, December 10th:

Additional Pay Form:

Once an Additional Pay form has been approved and is ready to be submitted to the database, if the submitter makes a change to any piece of the data, they will need to enter comments and reapprove the form before it can be submitted. The submitter will receive a pop up with this information as follows:

A popup dialog stating "This form has changed. Please enter comments and approve the form again."

If the reapproval is done but the comments are not entered, the user will get a similar pop up:

A dialog box stating "Please enter comments before approval."

This change will allow the system to identify and track items that were changed after approval but before submitting the form to the database.

Change to Absence Names:

We are updating some of the absence names to make them more user friendly; removing the word “Take” from Bereavement and spelling out Excused Absence and Longer Service Vacation
