Absence Management Self Service (AMSS)

Absence Management Self Service is a CSU system wide project that replaces the existing paper process for reporting absences with an electronic process via CMS PeopleSoft.  AMSS functionality within PeopleSoft-HR includes:

• Employees will have the ability to enter absences through HR Self Service on the Portal.
• Departments will have more current and easier accessible absence information for their employees through PeopleSoft.
• Managers and Leads will be able to review and approve absences electronically.

Additional functionality that was part of the core Absence Management module is now fully utilized. This includes:

• Managing schedules for all employees not working the standard Monday through Friday, 8-hour day schedule and the standard Monday through Thursday, 10-hour day summer schedule.
• Splitting and maintaining absence balances for each absence eligible position.
