The State System of Higher Education has an Employee Self Service portal that allows employees and student employees to view and manage personnel information. Student employees use ESS to submit their hours for a pay period.
Among the things you can view/update:
- Pay statements (from January 9, 2004, to the present),
- Payroll and benefits information
- Leave usage and leave balances
- Emergency contact information
Log in to ESS using your MyIUP credentials: This allows you to use your MyIUP credentials (also used to access MyIUP, D2L, IUP email, etc.) to sign in using the standard IUP Web Single Sign On system.
A PASSHE/ESS password is only needed for accessing the SourcePoint tab within ESS. Employees can reset their PASSHE/ESS password via the . If your password has expired, log in with your PASSHE username and expired password. On the next screen, you will be able to change the password. If you do not remember your password, you will need to use the self-service portal.
The self-service portal requires self-enrollment before you can utilize this service. If you have not enrolled in the PASSHE/ESS Self-Service Portal, you will need to contact IT Support.
The SAP Enterprise portal (i.e., ESS/MSS/eTime) is designed to be compatible across all current browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Google Chrome. There should be no significant differences in the appearance of the “Tabs” at the top of the portal.
Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome are the recommended browsers for the most reliable experience with the ESS and MSS applications.
You may experience issues when trying to access paystubs or W2 forms when using Chrome. To access these forms, it may be easier to first click the "Fiori Self-Service" tab, then the "Display W-2 Form" or "My Paystubs" buttons on the new page that opens. Alternatively, you can use a different browser, such as Edge or Firefox.
To access your ESS (Employee Self Service) account, you log in via the ESS Portal.
Log in using IUP Single Sign On
If you are already signed in to another Single Sign On service such as MyIUP, D2L, or IUP email, you will be automatically signed in to ESS after choosing Indiana University of PA.
Navigate to the ESS Portal page and click on Employee Self-Service (ESS) Portal. Next, select Indiana University of PA - MFA from the dropdown box, then click Continue. If the IUP Single Sign On page appears, enter your MyIUP credentials.
When your employment at IUP ends, you will no longer be able to access ESS. Your final pay statement will be mailed to you through the US Mail to your home address.
Please contact the Office of Human Resources at 724-357-2431 for questions about W2 forms, etc.
For errors with information, please contact the Office of Human Resources at 724-357-2431.
You may update emergency contact information, primary phone number, withholding (W-4) information, and race/ethnicity codes in the ESS portal. Additional update features will be added in the future.
