ESS

Change History

Update the following table as necessary when this document is changed.

 

Trigger:

 Perform this procedure to apply for Voluntary Shared Leave.

 

Business Process Procedure Overview

 Employee Self-Service (ESS) enables employees to perform their own administrative tasks in support of life and work events.

 

The Voluntary Shared Leave (VSL) Application Form is located in the 'My Working Time' Workset in ESS.  Employees can print the form or save it to their PC.  Employees will need to submit the completed form to Shared Services for processing.

 

The State of North Carolina has a policy that permits an employee to receive leave donations from other employees, provided that the employee has been approved to participate in the VSL program.  An employee who receives leave donations can record the shared leave when they exhaust their personal leave balance.

 

 

  

 

Procedure:

 

 

1. Start all ESS applications by logging on to the BEACON Portal.

3. Click the Log on  button.

Information:  After the initial log-on, there will be no additional log-on prompts to access business functions due to Single Sign-On (SSO).

Information:  After the user is logged on, the business packages and tabs on the main page will vary by the user, depending on their roles and authorizations.  For example, only managers will see a tab on their screen for My Staff (MSS) when they log on to the portal.

Critical:  When using web applications that maintain or create data, always ensure you leave the application (or log off) when you complete your work.  This will prevent record locking.

4. After logging on, the user will be defaulted to the BEACON Home Page.
