Writer’s Dedication This user guide is fondly dedicated to those pillars of common sense that answer the phones in the Employee Services Benefits Call Center. Not only are they patient, caring individuals, they are also therapists, and miracle workers, expected to read minds, and to jump through hoops at the whim of their errant callers. My hat is off to you… I would have had many a screaming match if I were in your chairs answering the phones. Dawn Ireland

Employee Services / Benefits Call Center / Remedy® Users Guide
Introduction The Employee Services Benefits Call Center Remedy® Users Guide will allow you to quickly learn the procedures for using the Remedy Action Request System. Remedy is an event-driven system. When a user receives a telephone call from either an employee, retiree, service provider, or any other caller, the user, through interviewing the caller, enters either a caller’s name, social security number, or other information to retrieve the file from the system. If the caller’s indicative data is found in any of the databases, the fields automatically populate with information that is on file for the caller from one or more of the following sources: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) PensionPartner (SABL) Health, Life and You (HLY)
Getting Started Double click the Remedy icon on your desktop.
The Remedy login screen appears. Type your User Name and Password in the designated areas.

Alerts Remedy utilizes an internal notification method called Remedy Alert to communicate system events to appropriate users.
#
Events are known as alerts.
Events are monitored by the application and when a particular event occurs, an alert is triggered. In order to receive and process server-based alerts, you must have a separate utility installed in addition to the main Remedy User interface application. Once Remedy Alert is installed, a flower icon will flash, beep, or play a .wav file in your system tray to get your attention when an important event has occurred that requires your attention.
Remedy Alert instantly informs you when you have received a new alert.
Remedy Alert Setup To setup Remedy Alert after it has been installed: Click Start > Programs > Action Request System > Remedy Alert.
