PeopleSoft HR and all external system transmissions to PeopleSoft will be unavailable starting Friday, May 11th at 5:00 p.m. until Monday, May 14th at 8:00 a.m. (at the latest) due to the 2018 spring release.
Users will see the following changes on Monday, May 14th.
We are excited to announce that Absence requests and approvals will be mobile friendly!
Also, employees will now be able to initiate cancelation of absence requests on their own! The new pages are easy to use and we hope this will be a significant improvement for our user experience.
Correction: In the last eNews we asked that all managers approve all requests prior to Friday, May 12th. GOOD NEWS! This is no longer needed. All submitted absences prior to Friday, May 12th will appear on the new approval tile.
The following Absence pages will have a new look and feel as we move to a more fluid, mobile friendly environment:
- Absence Request
- Absence Balances
- Forecasting results
- View Requests
A New Cancel Absences page!
- Employees can now cancel a submitted absence request. If the absence has already been approved, the cancellation request will be submitted for approval via workflow.
New Approvals Tile for Manager!
- All absence requests and requests to cancel can be easily accessed through this new tile.
To see how the new features and pages will work and feel, please view the video.
Quick Hire changes:
There is a new Quick Hire role called PS^HR^ALL^QH Assign ID, which will make an "Assign ID" button display in the Personal Information section of the form when combined with any existing Quick Hire role. When clicked, this will create an "Incoming Employee" role in MIDAS for new hires without an Emplid in PeopleSoft or on the Student table. The ID provisioning process can then start before the Quick Hire is actually submitted to PeopleSoft. For more information, please refer to the Quick Hire job aid: Quick Hire Other, Quick Hire Monthly, Quick Hire Temp, Quick Hire LHT.
