|
| New Hires Not Visible | New hires cannot immediately be found in the HRIS system when searching by name and or employee ID number. | This delay is due to security programs that are new to v 8.9 which are running behind the scenes. Users need to be aware that there may be up to an hour delay in viewing new hires. | |
Position Data |
***Update*** Postion data intiators are unable to make updates to exiting positions |
Position data initiators are unable to make updates to existing positions once it has been saved. The workaround for this was to temporarily give department level approver roles to all position data initiators. While this permits initiators to make updates it causes an SOD violation to appear on the report. |
Fixed as of October 17th. Only department and college level approvers will have access to approval boxes. Any new issues should be reported to your payroll analyst. |
