Welcome to this Introduction to Employee Self Service in OneUSG Connect.

OneUSG Connect is the University System of Georgia's HR and Payroll application. You interact with this new application through Employee Self Service.

In this video, we are going to give you a glimpse of the new application you will be using.

This short video is designed to give you a high-level overview of what you can see and do within the application. It does not go into full detail on how to do each task.

Once you get into OneUSG Connect, you enter Employee Self Service. To navigate within this application, you will use various tiles, drop downs and icons.

First, in the Navigation Bar, or NavBar which is at the top here, you can choose different selections from the drop down. All employees will have Employee Self Service and Benefits listed. If you supervise others, you will also see Manager Self Service in the listing. And Faculty Members will also see Faculty Data Self Service in the listing.

You can use the various icons as well.

This is the Home icon. Clicking this will take you back to your home page.

There is also a search icon and a notifications icon. The notifications icon will let you know if you have any alerts or actions required.

And then there is the Actions List icon. You can sign out through this icon.

The navigation icon allows you to access common pages or recent pages.

Most of your actions will be through the various tiles though.

The most commonly used tiles are Personal Details, Time and Absence, Monthly Schedule and Pay tiles.

Personal Details is where you can find your contact information and identifying information.

Through the Degrees and Certificates tile, you can enter your degrees, any licenses or certifications you hold, special language skills and honors and awards.

The Time and Absence tile is where you will review and submit your time, as well as review and submit your leave requests.

The Monthly Schedule tile will show you when you are scheduled to work, any upcoming holidays or scheduled time off.

Through the Pay tile, you can access your pay stubs.

The Paycheck Modeler tile allows you to calculate a hypothetical check by changing your earnings, deductions, or tax withholding status.

Through the Direct Deposit tile, you can make updates to your bank account or accounts where your paycheck is deposited.

The Taxes tile allows you to view your W-2 forms and update your tax information if needed.

Compensation history allows you to see how your compensation may have changed in the past.

The Company Directory tile allows you to search for others in your organization and get their contact information and org chart if needed.

The Forms tile is for future functionality.

And then finally, the Help tile open up a new tab to take you directly to Service Now if you need to submit a ticket for help.

When you are finished working in OneUSG Connect, you will need to sign out. If you do not formally sign out, you may encounter issues when you attempt to log back into the application.

And that is just a brief introduction to OneUSG Connect's Employee Self Service. Look for the specific "How Do I" videos to learn how to complete specific tasks within Employee Self Service.

Welcome to this video on signing out of the system.

Therefore, for security purposes, always sign out of OneUSG Connect when you are finished working in it.

There is a lot of personal information about you within the system that you can access. Be sure to keep your information safe.

Welcome to this video detailing what has changed with time and leave reporting.

One of the biggest differences in OneUSG Connect is how you report time and leave. This video is designed to give you a high level overview of the major changes that affect you.

Currently, in the ADP system, we use the time card in eTime to report both time and leave. Hourly employees report hours actually worked, as well as any exception time or leave if applicable. Exempt employees report exemptions, or any leave taken.

After we report our time and approve it, our supervisor then approves our timecard in ADP. From there, the reported time is processed, our leave balances are properly updated, and we are paid.

All of that will now be done in OneUSG Connect.

As an overview, in OneUSG Connect, all employees request leave through the Request Absence function. Exempt employees only report time not worked, such as leave. They do not submit a timecard for approval. Non-exempt employees report their time during a biweekly pay period through one of four ways. Managers approve non-exempt employees' time cards for processing into payable time. Let's look at these changes more closely.

First, let's talk about leave. All employees request leave, or absences, through OneUSG Connect. This leave request is routed via Workflow to the employee's manager or designated time approver who can approve it, deny it, or push it back for clarification.

We will use the Request Absence functionality to request leave. You can use this to request leave that is upcoming in the future, such as a scheduled vacation; and you can use the Request Absence to request leave that you took in the past, such as recording a sick day.

There is no longer a need to submit a paper form to record leave taken that wasn't captured in ADP at the end of the pay period. You can submit your leave request through OneUSG Connect after the period closes. However, it is best practice to submit that leave request as soon as you are able to.

After your manager approves your leave, it is ready to be processed by OneUSG Connect.

Now that we know how leave works in OneUSG Connect, let's talk about time.

If you are an exempt employee, you do not report time worked, just time not worked. All that is required for exempt employees is to ensure all leave for the month has been submitted through OneUSG Connect.

If you are a non-exempt employee, you do report time worked. This can be done through a few different ways. You may be required to clock in and out via a timeclock.

Or you may have to punch in and out through a Web Clock within OneUSG Connect every day.

Another option is recording your time in and out through a punch timesheet.

Or, you may be required to report the total numbers of hours worked via the Elapsed timesheet.

How you report your time has been determined by your institution. Talk with your manager if are unsure as to how you are reporting your time.

Once you report your time, it is then immediately available for your manager or designated time approver to approve.
Managers and designated time approvers must approve all of their hourly employees' reported time in order for it to be processed into payable time. Payable time is what is used to determine proper compensation. It is best practice for managers to approve hourly employees' time on a weekly basis.

This has just been an overview of the major time and leave changes with OneUSG Connect. To learn more about reporting time and requesting leave in the application, view the additional videos and job aids regarding OneUSG Connect.

Welcome to this video on recording your time using the Web Clock as an Hourly Employee.

Hourly employees are required to report and submit their time for all time worked. OneUSG Connect offers a few ways to report time worked. One is via the Web Clock, by punching in and out throughout the day. If you are using the Web Clock to report your punch in and punch out times, you will need to remember to do this as you begin and end work, as well as when you break for lunch.

To record a punch, log into OneUSG Connect and from Employee Self Service, select the Time and Absence tile.
From the Time page, click the Web Clock selection.

When you come to the Web Clock page, the system will indicate what your last recorded punch was. For this example, it was when we punched out yesterday.

Therefore, our Punch Type is already selected to In. If you need to change this, use the drop down.

To punch in at the beginning of your work day, select In. To punch out at the beginning of your lunch or meal break, select Meal. To punch in when returning from your lunch or meal break, select In. And to punch out at the end of your workday, select Out.

Then, click Enter Punch.

After you get the confirmation message, click OK.

Note that the time you just punched is now recorded as your last recorded punch.

When done, remember to sign out of the system unless you need to do additional tasks in it. You will sign back in when it is time to record your next punch.

And that is how you use the Web Clock to record your time in OneUSG Connect.

Welcome to this video on reporting time using the elapsed timesheet.

Hourly employees are required to report and submit their time for all time worked. OneUSG Connect offers a few ways to report time worked. This video walks you through how to record your time using the Elapsed Timesheet.

For this example, we are going to walk through recording our time for the current week.

After logging into OneUSG Connect and entering Employee Self Service, we'll select the Time and Absence tile.

From the Time page, we'll click Weekly Timesheet.

Week should be displayed in the View By field. You can use the Previous Week and Next Week links to navigate to prior and upcoming weeks.

If you wish to select a specific date, you can use the calendar icon, select a date and click the Refresh icon.

However, it is best practice to report your time every week. The system should open your timesheet to the current week.

Also, if you do not have the ability to change the View By listing through the drop down, then you only have permission to view the Weekly Timesheet and must actually enter your time through the Web Clock. If you feel that you should have access to the Weekly Timesheet in order to report your elapsed time, contact your manager.

For the Elapsed Timesheet, you should see one field per day.

We are going to leave our selection for the current week. We need to record that we worked 8 hours each day this week.

So we'll enter 8 in each of those fields.

Now we need to enter the time report code for our hours. So we'll choose the Time Reporting Code field drop down.
Here, you select the code that reflects your hours worked. In almost all cases, this will be Regular. So we'll click 00 Regular.

Once we have recorded our time for the week, we can submit our timesheet by clicking the Submit button.

The system provides a confirmation of our submission. We can click OK to proceed.

Your recorded time has now been submitted and is awaiting approval from your manager or designated time approver.

And this is how you report your time using the elapsed timesheet as an hourly employee in OneUSG Connect.

Welcome to this video on recording your time using the punch time sheet as an hourly employee.

Hourly employees are required to report and submit their time for all time worked. OneUSG Connect offers a few ways to report time worked. This video walks you through how to report your time using the Punch Timesheet.

For this example, we are going to walk through recording our time for the current week.

After logging into OneUSG Connect and entering Employee Self Service, we'll select the Time and Absence tile.

From the Time page, we'll click Weekly Timesheet.

Before we record our weekly time, let's review a few things first.

Week should be displayed in the View By field. You can use the Previous Week and Next Week links to navigate to prior and upcoming weeks.

If you wish to select a specific date, you can use the calendar icon, select a date and click the Refresh icon.

However, if you record your time via the punch timesheet, it is best practice to record your time on a daily basis. OneUSG Connect should open to the current week.

For the Punch timesheet, you should see punch in and out fields for each day.

We are going to leave our selection for the current week.

And we are going to record our time that we worked yesterday and today. Our typical schedule is from 8:00 to 5:00, with a lunch break at 11:30.

When entering your punch time, the system will take your input in a few different ways. You can type it out exactly, such as we are doing here for Monday.

You can just enter the 8 to reflect 8 am and 11:30 for our lunch start time. In the afternoon, we can input 12:30 p.m. for returning from lunch, and we'll enter 5 p.m. for our Out time.

For the Time Reporting Code, we'll select the drop down and select Regular.

If you are familiar with military time, you may enter that as well. So we'll enter 8 for 8:00, 1130 for 11:30 lunch, 1230 for returning from lunch, and 1700 for leaving work at 5:00.

So you have a few options as to how to enter your in and out times.

Again, we'll select Regular for the Time Reporting Code.

When you have finished recording your time, you can submit it by clicking the Submit button.

The system provides a confirmation of our submission. We can click OK to proceed.

And this is how you report your time using the punch timesheet as an hourly employee in OneUSG Connect.

Welcome to this video on end-of-month actions for exempt employees.

With OneUSG Connect, all non-exempt or hourly employees record and submit their time through various means. As an exempt employee, the requirement is to report any time not worked. This is done by recording absences or leave. If there is any time not worked due to paid holidays or conditions such as inclement weather, that will be handled on the administrative end by the HR department.

As an employee of the University System of Georgia, you are required to submit all leave or absence requests through OneUSG Connect. At the end of each month, you should verify that any leave you have taken has been recorded. If it hasn't, you need to submit the leave through OneUSG Connect.

At the end of each monthly pay period, to verify all of your leave has been submitted, you can review your absence request history. Once In OneUSG Connect, select Time and Absence from Employee Self Service.

And click Absence Request History.

If you wish, you can update the From and Through dates to view just the current month. Click Refresh after updating those dates.

Your leave requests that have been submitted through OneUSG Connect for the entire month are listed, along with their approval status. If all of your leave requests are listed, or if you did not take any leave, you are done for the month. There is no additional actions to take.

If a leave request for the month was not submitted, you need to complete the Request Absence process.

Return to the Time page by using the application's back button.

And select Request Absence.

Select the appropriate Absence Name.

Enter the start and end dates.

Input any comments if necessary.

And submit the request.

If desired, you can review your Absence Request history again to see your newly submitted request for the current month.

And that is all that is required for exempt employees at the end of the month. Just verify all of your leave requests for the month have been submitted, and enter and submit any that are missing. No additional actions are required.
