Human Resources/Payroll Processing Guide

This online guide is designed to assist users with PeopleSoft transactions and to explain PeopleSoft terminology and concepts.  A typical user is someone who is responsible for initiating or approving payment to an employee of Brandeis University.

The term “employee” in this guide refers to all staff, temporary employees, faculty members and postdoctoral fellows.  This guide is not to be used as reference for paying students, graduate students, stipends, consultants or temporary workers hired through a placement agency.
