The upcoming Staff Appreciation Picnic will offer more than just food, fun and music. It will feature a
high-tech fair, of sorts.

The University of Houston Division of Administration and Finance will host People Advantage Self Service Awareness (PASS) Fair, designed to help employees update personal information online. The fair will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 18, at Cullen Family Plaza.

“Employees have been empowered to handle personal transactions online at their convenience in a secure and expeditious manner through PASS,” said Karl Sparks, executive director of human resources.

PASS enables faculty and staff to view and change their address, telephone number and name/marital status. Employees may also access benefits information, printable paycheck stubs, compensation history and leave balances.

The Division of Administration and Finance's offices of payroll and human resources and its customer service center and Human Resources Management System project team launched PASS in April. To access the online service, visit http://my.uh.edu/pass.

Faculty and staff must enter “Z” and then their employee identification number, located on their paycheck stub as their user identification. Their password will be their birth date followed by the last four digits of their Social Security number. Once employees log onto the system for the first time, they will be prompted to change their password.

For those employees who do not have on-campus access to computers, many computer stations are available on campus. These locations are: Room 110 in the Graduate School of Social Work Building, M.D. Anderson Library, rooms 325 and 346 of McElhinney Hall and various locations within the University Center (UC) and the UC Satellite. Transactional kiosks have also been ordered to provide additional locations for employees to access the PASS system across campus.

For more information, call the Customer Service Center at 713-743-3988.
