Employee Self Service (ESS)

Ø Employee Self Service (ESS) is a web-based service which allows employees to review their personnel information on-line.
Ø Employees will log into a web portal to view their own data housed in the HR SAP system.  The level of security is similar to accessing commercial sites such as your bank and requires secured password access.
Ø ESS allows employees to view the following data elements:
l Payroll statements (current and past)
l Benefit plans, coverage, dependents, and contributions
l Leave Balances
l Banking Information
l TSA and other savings plan contributions
l Addresses and other personal data (dates of hire, emergency contact)

The following steps should be used as a guide for utilizing ESS

1. Employee user name will be the same username that used for the LHUP network (i.e. dhill@lhup.edu)
2. If you are an eTimekeeper with a CURRENT password, please go to step 5.  eTimekeepers should use their current eTime password to access ESS.

If you are not an eTimekeeper, please proceed with steps 3 and 4.

3 Employee temporary password will be the standard initial password assigned when the LHUP computer/email was created:

Employees with a middle initial and SSN on record will have the following temporary password:  "temp!" + middle initial + last two digits of SSN
(ex. Mary A. Smith, SSN 123456789, would be temp!a89)

Employees without a middle initial on record will have the following temporary password:  "temp!" + x + last two digits of SSN
(ex. Mary Smith, SSN 123456789, would be temp!x89)

Employees without an SSN on record will have the following temporary password:  "temp!" + middle initial +00
(ex. Mary A Smith, SSN unknown, would be temp!a00)

Employees without a middle initial or SSN on record will have the following temporary password:  "temp!" + x + 00

All letters in the temporary password are lower case.

Passwords will expire every 90 days.
 

4. Before attempting to log into the ESS web portal, you are required to change your temporary or expired password. 

Please visit the Active Directory Self-Service webpage at:
