Employee Self-Service, or ESS, allows you to view and change some of your employee information via myOleMiss.
From ESS you may:
- Update your payroll direct deposit information
- Update your employee address and communication preferences
- View your semimonthly pay stubs
- Elect to receive and view your Form W-2 online
- Record time worked and leave taken
- View current benefit selections via the Benefits Confirmation Statement
Addresses & Communication Preferences
You may use the Employee Self-Service application and Addresses & Communication Preferences to update your home address, office address and emergency contact information. Additionally, you can provide your cell phone information, which allows you to receive emergency text message notifications from the university. You may also set your preferences to receive optional text messages or emails about campus news and events.
To access Employee Self-Service, log in to myOleMiss => choose the Employee tab => Self Service => then, select Address/Communication Preferences from the “Detailed Navigation” menu located on the left.
Record Time
Eligible employees are required to use the Employee Self‐Service interface in myOleMiss to record time worked and leave taken for the payroll pay period. In general, permanent employees who do not record their time against Facilities Management or Telecommunications work orders are required to log into the myOleMiss portal to record their time. Employees who currently use approved time clock systems, student employees and Rebel Reserve employees may not use the online time sheet and should continue to use Form UM4/HR12.
Open Enrollment
Since October 2011, Employee Self-Service has been available for employees to make changes to their benefit plans during the entire month of October.
“The university is excited about using SAP’s Employee Self-Service module for the implementation of Online Open Enrollment,” said Pamela Johnson, assistant director of benefits.
Administratively, the online system streamlined the enrollment process, enabled the university to extend the Open Enrollment period and hold employees accountable for benefit elections. The system is easy to navigate and meets the university’s Open Enrollment needs.
All employees are encouraged to become familiar with the myOleMiss portal and enjoy the benefit and ease of using the features.
