Payroll/Personnel System - Campus Rollout

We wish to announce that the Biology Department is now actively updating
the Employee Data Base (EDB) directly through the Payroll/Personnel System
(PPS). Biology is the first campus department to use PPS for this purpose
and they have enthusiastically embraced this opportunity. We want to
express our appreciation for their feedback on the implementation process,
which will improve this effort for all departments coming on line in the
future. Also, congratulations are extended to all the individuals who
worked so hard to design the implementation process.

The next step in implementing PPS, Phase II, will include the Department
of Surgery and the Library, followed by Phase III, the Medical
Center-Human Resources and the Geological Research Division, SIO. The
staged rollout to the rest of the Campus will begin in April 1995. A
"phased" approach to implementation will continue to be followed to assure
that adequate support will be available for departments as they begin
using PPS in the update mode.

For the past five years, the office of the President has been developing a
plan to design and implement a Payroll Update function to the Employee Data
Base which would be distributed to Academic and Administrative
Departmental/Core Units for their use. A policy development team, with
representation from each vice chancellor area, was put into place on this
campus at about the same time. The name of this group is the Payroll
Personnel System Steering Committee (PPSSC). In addition, several
subcommittees were formed to address specific items relating to the
distribution of this Payroll activity. UCSD Payroll Division has been
successfully using the new system for over one year.

PPS Update training classes are geared toward individuals who now prepare
PAF's (Personnel Action Forms). Separate classes are available for
individuals who will need to review completed PPS Update actions. During
this transition time, the PAF training classes will be available as well
as PPS Inquiry. To register your Department for PPS Update, call ACT at
extension 49783.
