SELF-SERVICE PAYROLL FUNCTIONS:

NOAA Corps officers may now access pay information and complete some routine payroll functions on line. Using the Coast Guard's automated payroll input system, "Direct Access", engineered by PeopleSoft, members may view Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) data, and perform limited payroll actions by use of a secure web site. Payroll functions include, but are not limited to: Changes to the LES mailing address, income tax withholding, direct deposit account information, allotment actions, and TSP basic pay deferral adjustments.

Officers who use the feature will sign on to https://HR.DIRECT-ACCESS.US using your 7-digit Employee ID (EMPLID) as the User ID. The EMPLID replaced the SSN in block 2 of the LES. Your SSN serves as a temporary password. Passwords may then be customized by navigating to Home>PeopleTools>Maintain Security>Use>My profile. A "Forgotten Password Help" feature is also available at that navigation point.

To view LES data, navigate to
Home>Self Service>Employee>View>View Paycheck.

For the most common payroll changes, the navigation is
Home>Self Service>Employee>Tasks

All data submitted in the PeopleSoft environment must be saved (by clicking a "save" button) before exiting the web site. Please keep in mind that much of the Direct Access functionality, such as TDY orders, is for Coast Guard use only. If in doubt about making changes,
please consult:


Carol Holley in the NOAA Corps Payroll Unit.
email: carol.holley@noaa.gov
Phone: (785) 339-3499.

NOAA Corps officers may continue to communicate the above-described payroll actions to the Payroll Unit for input. On line self service allows an up-to-date view of current pay data, but is limited in comparison to the data contained in the printed LES.

Note:  Please ignore personnel data in the PeopleSoft environment that appears inaccurate. Some personnel data in Direct Access remains unchanged from Coast Guard default values, such as degree information and height and weight data. Such data on NOAA Corps officers is maintained solely in CPC, and differing values in the payroll system have no bearing on HR records management.
