HR System Training
End User Training
Beginning September 28, 2009, all employees will use UAccess Employee for timesheet submission, approval and monitoring.
To ensure all employees receive the proper training for their time reporting function(s) in the new system, we've organized the curriculum by role:
1) Time Reporters - All employees
2) Time Approvers - Supervisors who approve employee timesheets
3) Time Coordinators - Business Managers/Payroll Representatives who monitor time processing
Time Reporters, Time Approvers and Time Coordinators can register for live sessions and review online tutorials at: http://uits.arizona.edu/workshops.
Avoid the last minute rush and sign-up for class today.
If you have any questions or problems registering for training, contact the 24/7 626-TECH."

FAQS:
How do I find training?
Go to http://uits.arizona.edu/workshops. All of our currently offered workshops are listed on that page. Click on the name of a workshop to navigate to its description and registration page. Links to online tutorials are available on the individual workshop pages.
How do I access online training?
Click on the Launch UAccess Online Tutorials link on the individual workshop page.
How do I log in to the online tutorials?
Use your NetID and NetID password.
How do I see just the tutorials I need?
Use the My Roles link on the left side of the tutorial page to narrow the content down to just what you need.
I'm having trouble navigating the online tutorials or registering for a live workshop. Who should I call?
The 24/7 IT Support Center: 520-626-TECH (8324); http://the247.arizona.edu/
I did the online tutorials. Do I need to come to a live workshop?
It's up to you. The live workshops cover content that is also covered in the online tutorials. You can review the material both ways if you would like to, or you can just use the online resources.
I came to a live workshop. Do I need to do the online tutorials?
The live workshop actually has prerequisites that need to be done online. So, you'll always have something you need to do online. And, there's more content online than is offered in the live workshops. For instance, Employee Self Service (the new Employee Link) tutorials are only available online.
When should I register for my Time Approver and Time Coordinator workshop?
Now! We have a lot of seats open between now and when the software launches at the end of September, but there are a lot of people who need to fit into those workshops. If everyone waits until the last minute, there won't be enough seats available for everyone who wants one.
All the workshops I want are full! What should I do?
Remember that all of the UAccess Employee content is also available online. You can get what you need before the software launches.
And, if you really want to get into a live workshop, you can also "fly standby." Just like a plane, our workshops sometimes have empty seats, even though all the seats were taken in the registration system. Standby means that, even if a workshop shows as full, you can come by, tell the trainer you'd like to fly standby, and put yourself on a list to be let into the workshop. If seats are still open after the workshop start time, the trainer will fill them with folks from the standby list.
That also means that if you are registered for a workshop, and you are late, you will not be admitted. You will need to register for a different section of the workshop.
I'd like to have a workshop scheduled in my department. Can I do that?
Unfortunately, due to the large number of people who need to be trained, we can't offer workshops in every department. However, we have lots of options available for live workshops both on campus and in Sierra Vista and Phoenix. And, the online tutorials are available from anywhere
The Workshop and Training Team has scheduled Timesheet sessions for the HR/Employee launch at the end of September. If you visit the UITS Training and Workshops website, you will see that the training team has a week of one-hour sessions scheduled in the Student Union from September 28 - October 2.
These sessions are for everyone who will be filling out the new timesheets. The timesheet sessions are timed to fall in the week when those new timesheets will be ready for completion. There are two different session types for:
-
Part time/hourly employees
-
Salaried employees.
The materials will also be available online, so people who can't make those sessions or prefer to review the material on their own will have access to it.
The training team hopes to pair these sessions with a drop-in lab where employees can get help filling out their timesheets if they would like it. More information will be provided as it becomes available.
Hands-on workshops for Time Approvers and Time Coordinators are now available. The workshop schedule is available for viewing on the website and open for registration.
Join the UAccess Employee group of the Mosaic Community to get the first announcements of when those sessions open for registration.

PeopleSoft Payment Request Overview |
|
|
The purpose of the HR Payment/Adjustment Request is to replace the current POPR system and Vacation/Sick/Comp Time Form processes. |
|
|
The new PeopleSoft process will: |
|
|
? |
Request payments for hours worked which are greater than 28 days old and cannot be reported within time and labor. |
|
? |
Request vacation, sick, and comp time leave adjustments greater than 28 days old and cannot be reported within time and labor |
|
? |
Request other types of payments (See Appendix G) |
|
|
|
|
Departments' business units will have access to create and/or view the payment/adjustment request. Units will provide the appropriate approvals necessary for hours reported and adjustments created. If an individual in the business unit creates a request another person must approve the request. |
|
|
In addition, other payments will use FRS account authorization structure to authorize the Payment/Adjustment Request and this will translate to the new authorization structure in KFS in January 2010. |
|

Common PeopleSoft Terminology |
|
Workgroup |
|
All employees will be assigned to a workgroup. The workgroup will control what Time Reporting Codes are available to an employee through the timesheet view. An employee's workgroup will indicate if he / she is a positive pay reporter or an exception reporter. The workgroup is mapped from the employees assigned pay group. A table that further describes each pay group is attached as Appendix D. |
|
Employee self service |
|
This is the component of the system where employees will be able to access and edit their own information. All roles that are within the employee self-service component are automatically granted based on the employee's attributes. No action will be required to give an employee access to employee self-service for go live. Employee self-service will be replacing employee link. |
|
Manager self service |
|
This is the component of the system that Managers will use to access information regarding the employee's that they supervise. Access to the manager self-service component must be requested through the department. The components that the PeopleSoft Time and Labor Implementation team will be granting access for are the Time Management and Payment Request screens. |
|
Supervisor and Time Approver Position Filters |
|
Two fields have been defined in the manager selfservice time management component. Time Approvers and Time Coordinator are given security access at a department level. To allow a Time Approver or Time Coordinator to search by only the employees that report to them, a field has been added to filter the results based on the reporting structure. For positions with multiple incumbents there can only be one "Supervisor Position" and one "Time Approver Position" assigned. |
|
The "Supervisor Position" field identifies the direct reporting relationship for each position within the organization. The incumbent in a "Supervisor Position" is generally responsible for directing the work, managing performance and approving time for the position listed. |
|
The "Time Approver Position" field identifies the dotted line reporting relationship for a position within the organization. The incumbent in a "Time Approver Position" is generally responsible for approving time for the position listed. This may or may not be the same person listed in the "Supervisor Position." |
| Back to Top | |
Security Role Definition |
|
|
Any role requiring only access to employee self-service will automatically be assigned through system configuration. For example, each employee will automatically receive the role of a time reporter. The department will not need to request this access. Roles requiring access to manager self-service must be requested and approved by the department. |
|
|
The security roles are different tasks performed by campus employees who enter, approve, review, create or modify data in the new time keeping system. The assigned roles are associated with email notifications that will be delivered automatically by the system. For more information regarding system delivered email notifications, please review Appendix E. |
