I.       Defaulting employees to Online Earnings Statement effective
October 1, 2007 pay check (Gabe Nwandu)

Beginning with September Payroll (October 1, 2007 pay check), employees
with direct deposit will be directed to access their earnings statement
on-line through At Your Service Online (AYSO),
https://atyourserviceonline.ucop.edu/ayso/
<https://atyourserviceonline.ucop.edu/ayso/> .   This is part of the
University of California Employee Systems Initiative (ESI) project to
provide better security and conserve resources.  Employees who choose to
continue receiving paper copies of their earnings statement or cannot
access it online should opt-out through AYSO or by contacting their
departmental Payroll/Personnel Preparer.  This information will be
shared with employees via Scotmail.  The memo with complete instructions
how to logon to AYSO has been distributed via PPS-NEWS.

Here are the instructions on how to change the default from "Y" (online)
to "N" (paper).

field and type employee's last name, first name {enter}
