PeopleSoft upgrade launches March 13

Brief

The Human Resources and Information Technology Departments announce that plans for an upgrade to the PeopleSoft Human Resources system are on track for a mid-March launch.

Currently Hutchinson Center and SCCA employees use the employee self-service areas of PeopleSoft HR for a variety of tasks, such as verifying personal information, making benefit elections during open enrollment and looking up paycheck information. Many managers and administrators also use the system to validate and manage information relating to their staff.

The biggest change for users will be the menu and navigation structure of the system. The new version uses a more intuitive "portal" approach, which groups and makes similar functions more accessible. Once users navigate to their selection, they will find that in most cases the underlying functionality is exactly the same (or better) in the new version as in the old.

Look for details on the launch of the new system in the March 2 issue of Center News. In the interim, if you have questions or need additional information, please contact Neil Hickey, Human Resources Information Systems manager, at nhickey@fhcrc.org or (206) 667-2795.
