How to Complete a Mailing Labels Request
Process Scope and Definition: This document describes how to complete the mailing labels request form used in conjunction with the implementation of the PeopleSoft HR system.
Process Purpose: A new form has been implemented effective July 1, 2001, for Employees to request campus mailing labels. Upon review of all the requests currently made, we have found that a majority of the labels were for department distribution of various flyers, notifications, etc. Here users requested a label per department with the headcount of employees also indicated on the label. For example, Budget Office (7), Staff Personnel (10), etc. These labels would then be placed with the appropriate amount of copies attached. No employee names were on these types of labels. The other portion of the mailing labels did have specific employee names and were targeting specific populations of people on campus. We have incorporated both types of label processing into the new system.

Process Owner: HRIT and ITS
Legacy Relationship: Mailing labels are generated today using information from the Employee Data System (EDS). EDS will be replaced by PeopleSoft HR and thus a new process was created for label generation. To streamline the support for the numerous mailing labels requests, we have created an ACCESS database program to generate the mailing labels. The most commonly requested criteria was used in the development of this database. PeopleSoft will generate an employee and department extract nightly which will update the ACCESS mailing labels program. Computer operations will process user requests using the ACCESS program. Should the need arise to have a specialized criteria developed, HRIT will be responsible for the programming efforts.
Process Flow
- When an entity (Academic Senate, 49er Shop, etc.) wants labels with employees names with campus addresses, the label request will be made to Academic Personnel-Irene Wood or Staff Personnel (Tom Angell) depending on the type of request for review. Irene and Tom (or designated staff) will work with users to ensure requests can be met. If the request is denied, the request is sent back to the user with the reason(s) for rejection. If the request turns out to be a customized label which the ACCESS database can’t handle, HRIT( Sherry Litts and staff) will be notified to perform the programming. An estimated time of completion will be given to the requester. Once the request is reviewed /approved by Personnel it is forwarded to ITS operations for processing.
- Once the request is processed, ITS operations will notify the requester to pick up the labels in the ITS front office. If the label request is a file, the file will be emailed to the requester using the email address on the request form. ITS will complete the bottom portion of therequest form and return to the requester.
