Summary
Resolution
Below is a list of steps to ensure that your company is set up to allow managers and employees to utilize the new Sage HRMS Mobile Application.
Administrative Setup
- Download and install the most recent version of the Sage HRMS and Employee Self Service product (Q4 2024 or Higher)
- The mobile application connects to your organization’s Sage HRMS Web server and requires the most recent release of the premium web version of Sage HRMS Employee Self Service. The initial mobile application release requires the Q4 2024 version.
- If you are not currently using the premium version of Sage HRMS, contact Sage at 866-271-6050 to upgrade your subscription.
- Ensure your Sage HRMS Web Server instance is using HTTPS protocol and is accessible from the internet
- Employers may need to update their firewall and security settings to enable access to the server from the web.
- If your organization already has this setup in place, with employees already using the premium web version of Employee Self Service, no additional configuration is required.
- Download the application on your device from your device app store:
- Apple Iphone users can download the new mobile app by searching for "Sage HRMS" in the Apple App Store.
- Android users can ownload the new mobile app by searching for "Sage HRMS mobile" in the Google Play Store.
- Connect to your organization’s Sage HRMS Web Server
When asked for the HRMS Web Server information, the following format should be used: https://<ServerName>/<SiteName>/
Example: https://www.companyname.com/selfservice/
Once you have successfully connected to your organization’s server, you will be prompted to log in. Your employees will use the same login credentials they currently use when accessing your current instance of Sage HRMS Employee Self Service.
- Optional Step: Change your Pay History to display 18 months of data or less
The current version of the Sage HRMS Mobile App has encountered performance issues when trying to display multiple years of Pay History for some clients. Administrators can update their Pay History settings to reduce load times and improve performance in the application.
Follow the steps below to make this change.
1. Log on to HRMS Employee Self Service as the Master user.
2. On the System Administrator menu, select System Settings > System Setup.
3. On the System Setup page, expand the History section and enter a date in the Display Pay History From field.
Pay History with a date after the Display Pay History From date will be available on the employee's Pay History screen.
This issue will be resolved in an upcoming application update.
Employee Communication
Because the application requires employees to connect to your organization’s HRMS Web Server, additional communication will need to be shared with employees.
Sample verbiage has been included below. Please update the [bracketed] information before sharing this verbiage with employees:
