Employee Self Service (ESS)
How to Access Employee Self Service (ESS)
Connecting to ESS
 The ESS website will be available through the District’s website by selecting
“Employee” in the ribbon on the Home page and then “Employee Self Service” or by
navigating to https://mss.pasco.k12.fl.us/ess.
 The employee will be prompted to sign on using a sign on screen similar to the one
shown below. There may be slight differences in the appearance based on the browser
used to access ESS.
How to sign on
User name:
In the user name box within this window, the employee must enter the word
“district” followed by a backslash (located above the enter key) followed by the user
ID (first part of the email). For example Thomas Jones would enter district\tjones in
the user name field. The backslash is very important and is the most common
mistake made when entering the user ID.
To find e-mail address for employees, visit Pasco E-Directory:

 ESS Password for employees that use Esembler - the ESS password will be the
same as their Esembler password.
 ESS Password for employees without Munis or Esembler access –the ESS
