Employee Self Service Overview

Last Updated: 9/27/11

Entering the HCM System

Overview of the Human Capital Management System

▪ The HCM system is web based software, which allows for the management of employee data and employee related transactions by designated University employees and Human Resources Professionals. It contains special access for Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service.

Employee Self Service Functions

▪ Allows employees to make certain changes to their employee files: users can access the following information in their own employee file and request changes if needed:

1. Personal Information: contact information, emergency contacts, home address, etc.

2. Payroll and Compensation Information: direct deposit, pay advices (current and old pay checks), W-4, W-2, deductions, taxes, tax withholdings, etc.

3. Benefits Information: view current benefits selections, plans, etc.

*** Certain changes will need to be approved by HR and require official documentation (example: name change and marital status).

What is a NetID

▪ All faculty, staff, and students are assigned a Rutgers unique identifier known as a NetID, comprised of initials and a unique number (e.g. jqs23). In order to access many of the electronic services available to you at Rutgers, you need to activate your Rutgers NetID. Your assigned NetID will appear on the activation screen.

Getting a NetID

▪ When an employee record is created and approved in the HCM System, after a 24hr period, a NetID is created and sent to the employee’s RCI e-mail account and/or the personal e-mail address that was provided during this process.

Your NetID

▪ Your NetID is the username, which you use when logging to websites like the HCM System’s Employee Self Service. To look up with NetID visit the NetID Query Website at: . You will need to enter your employee ID number and date of birth.

Accessing Employee Self Service

▪ When an employee gets a NetID, they automatically have access to their own information in the HCM system.

1. Go to the RIAS website:

2. Log in using your Net ID and password

3. Click on the “Click Here to Access Self Service” link in the middle of the page

4. A new screen will appear with an “Oracle” logo in the top left

Login/NetID Problems

▪ Some reasons for being unable to login into Self Service on the “Rutgers Central Authentication Service” screen include:

1. Your employee file has not been created yet, which means you do not have an employee ID (which is required for the creation of a NetID).

2. Your information is still being processed. You will get an e-mail with your information to your new RCI e-mail account or your personal e-mail if it was provided.

3. Your information has not been entered correctly in the HCM system

4. Your system access has been compromised due to a recent change to your job or personal data

***Ask your department HCM Preparer/Hiring Manager to review your personal information and job data for accuracy (First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, National ID Number [Social Security Number], etc.). If an error is found, the HCM Preparer should contact the Human Capital Management Unit [e-mail: hcm_action_status@hr.rutgers.edu or Hotline 848-932-3888] to resolve the issue.
