  • Enter your Date of Birth in the format shown, mm/dd/yyyy
  • Enter the last 4 digits of your social security number
  • Enter your 5 digit zip code

The last 3 steps above validate that the information entered matches your information with our Human Resources department (same as shown in ADP)

  • Enter a User Id - please use the same id as you are currently using to log into the network, usually first initial and last name

  • Enter your email address.

After completing the setup, if you see a “Sign out” option on the top right it will take you back to the sign-on page. If you do not see a sign out option, return to the expense sign-on page from our webpage, www.clayton.edu/offices-departments > Accounting Services > Expenses > Travel > Links > Employee Self Service.

  • The account string shown in the “Default Chartfield Values” section is the information that will default when you create an expense. The fund, program, class, budget ref, and department must be entered. Project code is optional. There is usually an administrative assistant or budget manager for each department who has this information. Once this information is set up, it will default to each expense when it is created.
  • Budget Ref is based on the current fiscal year.
