Access to HR Direct

All employees are automatically granted access to log into HR Direct and view their pay advice information in employee self-service. Employees also may update their own personal data, manage direct deposits and change tax withholding. Many employees also use self-service to report and approve timesheets.

Active employees can log in to HR Direct using their campus email address (first_last@uml.edu or first_last@student.uml.edu) and password.

To request HR Direct access beyond self-service, please contact Hilary Clark, the Human Resources data custodian.
