Internet Explorer 11

MSS ‘Create Leave on Behalf of’

When a Manager creates a leave request on behalf of one of their team who doesn't yet have ESS access, the Team Calendar will be blank (ESS access is automatically provided to all employees who have an Active Directory account created).

MSS Multiple Employment 

When someone has more than one contract at the University (Multiple Employment) and they're managers in more than one contract, MSS will only allow processing for the primary contract. There is a work-around for this currently via the SAP HR Organisational Structure, so please contact the ESS/MSS team for further details.

MSS Employee view, Employee Profile

The Absent Days figure shown on the Employee Profile doesn't include University closed days for full time staff (this only shows absences recorded on SAP Infotype 2001).

Issues resolved:

It is recommended staff use only Internet Explorer (8-11) or Google Chrome to log in to the system until further notice.
