How does a new employee sign on to Self Service?

Search Online Managers' Toolkit

Action:

  1. The Human Resources Information System, often referred to as Self Service or PeopleSoft, is an online program available to all GNWT employees and managers where they can perform a variety of tasks related to pay, timesheets and other human resource functions.
  2. An employee can log in to Self Service for the first time with the following information:
  • User ID: firstname.lastname
  • Password: Employee ID (6 digits) + the first three digits of their Social Insurance Number (SIN) + the first 3 letters of employee birth month (all uppercase). Employee ID's can be obtained by contacting the HR Helpdesk.
  1. The employee will then be prompted to change their password.
  2. All employees should go to:  Main Menu > My System Profile. The Change or Forgotten Password Help will assist should the employee forget their password, they can make use of this function to have their password emailed to then.  The email addressed listed on this General Profile page is also the email that all PeopleSoft related notifications will be sent to. Ensure it is the appropriate address.  
  3. Additionally, your new employee may wish to use self-service to:
  • Change bank account / direct deposit information;
  • Confirm personal information is accurate;
  • Update address and email information;
  • Review their pay cheque
  • Review their leave balances

There are a number of tutorials available to assist employees in performing these tasks.
