How to Obtain Access to Payroll/Commitment Accounting

While all Harvard employees are given access to PeopleSoft Self Service, access to other roles in Payroll/Commitment Accounting requires approval from your tub's HR Authorized Requestor.

Each Tub has a designated Authorized Requestor who is responsible for submitting requests for system access. Your manager or supervisor will help you determine the applications and the level of access that you will require for your job. Your Authorized Requestor will then submit the appropriate request(s) for access. For more information and to obtain the list of Authorized Requestors, see the Client Services section.
