Accessing payslips from Apple devices
If employees do not know their Username, Normal Password or Memorable Password for logging into Employee Self Service (ESS) then they can now sort these themselves by using the Forgotten Username, Forgotten Password or Forgotten Memorable Password functionality. This is the link to the document that explains how these work. Employees should always attempt this first before contacting the Payroll Section for help.
