Self-Service E-Profile Communication
Starting between April and June 2011, the University of Wisconsin will begin to implement a new human resource, payroll, and benefits system that will streamline hiring processes, increase employee data security, simplify benefits enrollment, modernize the payroll process, and increase customer service. As the new Human Resource System (HRS) is rolled out, all UW employees will have access to the new online Self Service application.
The Human Resource System's Self Service is a secure web-based application accessible by all UW faculty, staff, and student employees where they can view and edit employee personnel information. It gives employees secure access to their human resource, benefits, and payroll information via the Web through My UW System portal (https://my.wisconsin.edu).
Self Service will revolutionize the way UW employees manage their personnel information by putting it at their fingertips where they can access it anytime. Currently, employees can find their earnings, tax, and benefits statements on the My UW Portal. Self Service will utilize these pre-existing online functions and take information delivery to the next level. Functions of Self Service include
- eProfile to update personal information.
- Online Benefits Enrollment for new hires and 2011 Dual Choice open enrollment.
- Easy access to important payroll documents.
- Online time entry for classified staff (phased rollout through 2011) and student hourly workers.
- Electronic time sheets approval for manager online.
- The ability to track leave balances and submit leave requests to managers online, and managers will have the ability to view and approve requests online.
- The ability to update current TSA contributions.
- Viewing dependent personal information, including a summary of dependent coverage
The My UW System portal will be a one-stop-shop for employee personnel and job related information through Self Service!
