PeopleSoft HRMS FAQ

1. How do I get access to PeopleSoft HRMS?

First, you need an account with a user id and password. Your supervisor must request this and usually does when you first begin working at Easter Seals. If they have not done so they can fill out a form and submit to the IT Helpdesk either in person, via interoffice mail or via fax at 603-621-3472. The form is accessible on the Easter Seals staff webpage, http://links.eastersealsnh.org/downloads/user.doc under New User Form. The form must be signed by your immediate supervisor. Once you have an account, you will probably need training from the payroll department on how to enter your time in the system.

This is an automated program that looks to see which employees have entered time by the deadline of noon on Friday of a time-entry week.
