Dear PPS User,
The announcement below has been distributed through the MSOADM lists with a copy to the Financial Officers Group.
The URL to access web PPS is: https://prod.ucop.edu/pp5.
This URL can also be accessed anytime through the Payroll Office website at: http://www.accounting.ucr.edu/payroll.htm under UCR WEB PPS - PRODUCTION.

Note:  UCOP will soon retire the old URL to web PPS:  https://prod.ucop.edu/pp5cgi/ucdb2www/ppslogon.d2w/main.   Web New Hire is not available though this old link; therefore, you should delete it from your bookmark and replace it with https://prod.ucop.edu/pp5.

Thank you

Subject: PPS Web New Hire

 

Dear Campus Community,

 

The FSSC is pleased to announce a major enhancement to the Payroll Personnel System (PPS).  In collaboration with five other UC campuses, a user-friendly web interface has been developed to simplify and streamline the processing of "new hires".  Special thanks is owed to Ms. Jasmine Mejia from Botany & Plant Sciences who serves as our campus functional expert on the system-wide workgroup as well as the Vice Chancellor Bolar and Associate Vice Chancellor Rowley for supporting this initiative to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of campus operations.  Thanks to all of the PPS users and the Payroll department for participating in the campus requirements sessions and testing the system.  The Web New Hire was demonstrated at the PPS Users Group on June 9th.

 

Although the existing CICS mainframe input option is still available, PPS Transactors are encouraged to immediately begin using the web interface for new hires.  PPS users with entry update privileges automatically have access to the web interface.  The new functionality can be accessed via the On-Line PPS environment under the New Hire menu option.  Please note this functionality is only supported using Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0, IE 8.0, Firefox 2.0,  and Firefox 3.6.   Additional information regarding the application is available at: http://www.accounting.ucr.edu/webnewhire.htm <http://www.accounting.ucr.edu/webnewhire.htm> .  Feedback, questions and concerns regarding this enhancement can be submitted to webppsfeedback at ucr.edu <mailto:webppsfeedback at ucr.edu>  

 

Future enhancements to PPS include a system-wide initiative for a web interface for the entry/update function and a local campus initiative for on-line time reporting.  Additional information will be communicated as these enhancements are deployed.  

 

Sincerely,

 

Bobbi McCracken

Associate Vice Chancellor-Financial Services & Controller
