Navigate to Administration > User Administration
Check Filter results based on User Name, User ID, and Employee ID
Define your ESS user ID or employee number in the adjacent textbox
Hit the enter key
Determine your ESS account from the list that populates and click Edit adjacent to it
Click the Employee tab on the following screen
Beneath the textbox displaying your employee number you should see another empty field with the word Add beside it where you will populate the employee number of the employee you would like to impersonate
Click Add
Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Update
Log out of Employee Self Service completely and then log back in
1. If you click on the icon in the top right corner of ESS you should now see a dropdown towards the bottom of that icon's dropdown menu. This list will include an entry for whatever Location Code is defined on your Employee Master record, and the Location Code defined on the employee you are impersonating's Employee Master record.
