Starting July 5, 2007, the Health Science Center will begin utilizing a new updated version of PeopleSoft HRMS called HCM (Human Capital Management). The HCM version is web-based and will bring much-needed improvements including:
- Employee Self-Service, 24 hours 7 days a week access to personal information from any PC through an internet connection
- Better communications with the Employees and Departments using workflow notifications
- Streamlined lump sum check processing
- More efficient and effective business processes
Informational sessions on Employee Self-Service were held in May and June 2007 for all employees and departmental administrators. In addition, current departmental users of the HRMS system will be required to participate in one of 28 mandatory training classes on the new HCM system. After the July implementation on-going HCM training and assistance from DCATS will be provided. Visit the HCM Training Section for more detailed information on training.
For access to the new Employee Self-Service, all newly hired university employees will be automatically provided user accounts for the UTHSCSA network on the first day of employment. Existing university employees who currently do not have UTHSCSA network accounts will receive them at the beginning of July when HCM goes live.
For a detailed explanation of Employee Self Service, view the online training at: http://www.uthscsa.edu/dcats/ESS.ASP
Departmental administrators will be provided a list of new UTHSCSA accounts for their employees so they can communicate this information to those individuals. Visit the Frequently Asked Questions Section for more information.
Moving forward, we appreciate the patience and cooperation of all employees as we continue to streamline and improve services for UTHSCSA.
