Online employee time reporting
Online employee time and absence reporting is here. Employee
Self Service (ESS) and Manager Self Service (MSS) is now in use for all LTE staff and student employees. The transition for classified permanent staff is scheduled to begin in March. It will be approached in three waves with the last group going live on April
8. Those scheduled to move to online time and absence reporting will be contacted by the HRS team at least two weeks in advance of their move. The final phase of the ESS roll-out will result in unclassified faculty and staff reporting their absences online
(roll-out schedule under discussion). Online time entry and approval resources can be found at http://www.uwrf.edu/HumanResources/HRSSelfService.cfm.
