February 2002: U of L's upgrade to PeopleSoft 8 may change the browser you use to view your paystub. Because the Web browser Netscape will not work with PeopleSoft 8, you will need to use Internet Explorer to view your paystub. An explanation of that and other requirements follow, as well as instructions for setting up your computer to meet them.

Browser Requirements

1. You must use Internet Explorer version 5.5 or higher (Windows users) or Internet Explorer version 5 (Macintosh users) to view your paycheck stub.

2. You must have Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections enabled in Internet Explorer.

Logging In, Viewing, and Printing Your Paycheck

1. As part of the PeopleSoft 8 upgrade, each person at U of L will be able to access Novell, PeopleSoft and Groupwise using the same password. The system is set so that more than likely, your Groupwise and Novell (LAN) user ID (e.g. JDSMIT01) and Novell (LAN) password will allow you to view your paycheck. There are some exceptions, however:

• HSC students will use the Novell (LAN) and Groupwise user ID, but will use a temporary password the first time they log in (*see below). They will be asked to change their password for future visits.
  
  
• Instructors with a PeopleSoft account of "W" plus an employee ID will use the user ID for their electronic mail and their Novell (LAN) password.
  
  
• People who don't have a Novell (LAN) or Groupwise account (those who access PeopleSoft only to view a pay stub or class roster) will not change their ID, but they will use a temporary password the first time they log in (*see below). They wil be asked to change it for future visits.

*Temporary Passwords. The new temporary password format will be FFLL####, where :

FF=the first two letters of your first name as it is recorded on your paycheck. If you have only one letter in your first name, the second character will be zero.

LL=the first two letters of your last name as it is recorded on your paycheck. If you have only one letter in your last name, the second character will be zero.

####=the last four numbers of your employee or student ID.

If your name is Jane Doe Smith and your employee number ends in 1234, your temporary password would be JASM1234

If you have any questions regarding your user id and password, please send an email to asksamit@gwise.louisville.edu.

2. Once you log in, Choose HR Self Service > Employee > View > View Paycheck. Demonstration
