AZ360 Self-Learning Materials for All Employees

Effective May 20, Your Employee Services—Y.E.S.—is being replaced with a modern, cloud-based solution called AZ360. In preparation for Go Live, the AZ360 project team has begun publishing self-learning materials that State employees and retirees may access on the Training page of the AZ360 project website. The materials will include step-by-step Quick Reference Guides for many of the most common AZ360 functions as well as how-to videos. There is a help button in the application itself to assist users in finding answers to questions, and there is another feature called Advantage Assistant that offers a Screen Guide for employees creating a timesheet. 

Go Live Support

The AZ360 project team is preparing a multi-tiered plan for delivering Go Live support services. Agencies are asked to designate a lead Go Live support coordinator and create teams of subject matter experts (SMEs) who can help answer questions and communicate guidance. Questions that can’t be resolved at the agency level will be triaged and prioritized before being transmitted to ADOA, where they will be ticketed and dispatched to the project’s functional and technical teams for resolution.  

Lawson HRIS Freeze Dates Announced

The Project Team has released a schedule of upcoming Lawson/HRIS freeze dates. In order to expedite final data conversions necessary for the system cutover in May, the team needs to begin locking down data in the current HRIS system. The system freezes do not affect the ability of agencies to conduct business, e.g., hire people into positions, but they will not be able to complete transactions in the system while the freeze is in place. Transactions will continue in AZ360 after the May 20 Go Live date. NOTE: The last Lawson/HRIS payroll will be for Pay Period 4/26-5/9. The first payroll out of AZ360 will be for Pay Period 5/10-5/23. 

How Employees Can Prepare for AZ360

Employees may expect to receive additional instructions as the May 20 Go Live approaches. If you haven’t already, please log in to Y.E.S. and ensure your data is current, complete and accurate. May 9 is the last date to make changes in the current Lawson HRIS. 

Please begin accessing and reviewing self-learning materials on the AZ360 project website.
