What is Personal Information?

Personal information relates to your individual human resources and payroll choices (e.g., federal tax & direct deposit information, emergency contacts, and benefit options). Certain information, such as direct deposit information and benefits enrollment/pension/retirement information, will not be accessible to your supervisor.


Your Worker Profile

Your Worker Profile can be viewed by clicking on your picture next to the Inbox icon and then clicking View Profile. In your Worker Profile, you can see information about your job, compensation, benefits, and pay. In addition, you can view your job history, support roles, and worker history.
