PeopleSoft Online Tutorials are mini-movies within the PeopleSoft programs we use. These Tutorials show you how to do tasks in PeopleSoft, like Mileage Expense Reports, or Special Request orders in eProcurement. Online tutorials show you exactly what to click, where to type, and what to do. Tutorials show ways to be more successful with PeopleSoft; right from within the PeopleSoft window. Fast and easy; no muss, no fuss.

These Tutorials can save you time, and show how to make PeopleSoft work better for you. The Online Tutorials support your work in PeopleSoft by showing you how to do something immediately. You can just sit back and watch the tutorial show you each step if you wish. In addition, you can actively click along with a tutorial at your own pace, in a simulated environment. And best of all, there is a mode that shows you each step as you enter real data into PeopleSoft!

The PeopleSoft Online Tutorials can now be accessed from outside the district network. This means you can receive assistance from home or from a wireless network at an internet cafe! For more information on using PeopleSoft Online Tutorials please watch one of our informational mini-movies or read Knowledgebase article #668.

Important Time & Labor Reporting Information - Please Review Carefully

Timekeepers and Site Administrators/Managers,

It has come to our attention that many of you have questions regarding payroll reporting requirements and which reports should be used to review and validate payroll. In an effort to provide some clarification, enclosed is a PDF document that describes each of the reports that are to be used by timekeepers and administrators to validate the payroll and when to run them. Please print and review this document. Included with each description is the navigation in PeopleSoft that will take you to each of the reports. We also believe there may be some room for improving the format of these reports to be more easily understood. The Payroll Department will be reviewing these reports in the coming weeks with the intention of revising them to be more user-friendly.

In addition to reporting requirements, we have provided some clarification on what the 90-day window for making Prior Period Adjustments in Time and Labor should be used for. Please review the description of that window and what types of adjustments should and should not be made using it.

If you have questions regarding this information or other matters related to your payroll, please don’t hesitate to contact your payroll technician. Thank you for all you do!

*ATTENTION* - PeopleSoft Financials 8.9 Upgrade is Coming this Fall

New improvements to eProcurement, Travel Expenses, and other tasks in PeopleSoft Financials will be available to district employees in Fall 2007.

What are we upgrading?
This upgrade only affects Financials tasks. The upgrade does NOT have anything to do with HR tasks like Time & Labor or PARs.

Why are we upgrading?
Just like your car...in order to keep it running in good condition, you have to maintain it with tune-ups and oil changes. And, we want to take advantage of new, improved features.

How will I receive training and support?
The IT Training team will make new manuals and interactive tutorials available to all district employees before the new application is released. Open Labs and other support resources will be available as well.

What should I do now?
Keep using PeopleSoft Financials software as you normally do. Watch for future announcements about new features and training opportunities. View the PeopleSoft Website at: www.sandi.net/peoplesoft for the latest information on the Financials 8.9 Upgrade.

Who should I contact with questions?
Please contact Jessica Youngs, PeopleSoft Development Coordinator, at jyoungs@sandi.net.
