Your unique 6-digit employee identification number is your username and your original password is the last 4 digits of your social security number.  The first time you log in, you will be asked to create a password specific to you.  ESS is firewall protected and may be accessed at anytime.

ESS can be accessed from any personal and district computer and there are computer terminals available to all employees in both lobbies of the District Office. ESS can also be accessed with the ESS Mobile App for both Apple and Android, see next section below for instructions.

Employees are able to print copies of their paystubs using work computers/printers and there is no charge to employees for accessing their records or printing them out.

For security purposes we cannot email or USPS mail paystubs.

What is the Deadline for Submitting Tax/403(b) Changes?

Tax Withholding forms (W-4 Federal, DE-4 State) must be submitted by the 15th of the current month to take effect on your next paycheck. These can also be submitted through Employee Self Service (ESS).

Any voluntary deductions such as 403(b) must also be submitted by the 15th of the current month to take effect on your next paycheck. For 403(b) new deductions, there may be a delay due to the timing of confirming you have an active account with the provider.  All 403(b)/457 changes must go through OMNI by filling out an online Salary Reduction Agreement.
