Understanding the Changes What temporarily changes from what you learned in training? No Item Changes? 1 The type of data that GEMS users can see Due to the staggered roll-out, only employee data from the rolled out departments can be viewed or updated in GEMS, OR records for employees who were previously in a rolled out dept. 2 Users who have access to Self Service Due to the staggered roll-out, only employees from the rolled out departments have access to Self Service. Employees in non-rolled out departments do not have access in Self Service as their own or their LM’s data has not been migrated into the system. 3 Availability of TAFIS/Payroll interface The GEMS-TAFIS/Payroll interface is still in development and will not be available yet as of R2A Go-Live. Processes involving TAFIS/Payroll will need to be managed manually or using the As-Is process.
