LIJ Self Service is a historical employee search associated with North Shore-LIJ Health System, now known as Northwell Health.
Long-term and former employees may continue searching for LIJ Self Service, NSLIJ ESS, North Shore-LIJ Employee Self Service, or mySelfService when they need payroll statements, W-2 forms, direct-deposit information, benefits, tax information, or other employment records.
Historical North Shore-LIJ Employee Self Service provided employees with online access to important HR and payroll functions.
Northwell’s technology has evolved since then, so current employees should use present Northwell instructions for actual employee activity.
What Is LIJ Self Service?
LIJ Self Service generally refers to the historical North Shore-LIJ Employee Self Service environment.
ESS means Employee Self Service.
Employees could use applicable self-service resources for:
- Pay statements
- Direct deposit
- Tax information
- Benefits
- Personal information
- Leave information
The system reduced the need to contact HR for routine tasks.
North Shore-LIJ Became Northwell
North Shore-LIJ Health System adopted the Northwell Health name.
This explains why older employee materials can use:
- North Shore-LIJ
- NSLIJ
- LIJ
- ESS
- mySelfService
while current resources use Northwell branding.
LIJ Payroll
Payroll was one of the major historical ESS functions.
Employees could review applicable payroll information and pay statements.
Payroll statements can contain:
- Gross earnings
- Net pay
- Taxes
- Benefits deductions
- Other deductions
- Year-to-date information
Payroll records should be protected carefully.
LIJ Direct Deposit
Historical North Shore-LIJ documentation specifically described employee direct-deposit enrollment through ESS.
This confirms that direct deposit was a genuine Employee Self-Service function.
Current employees should use current Northwell payroll instructions rather than relying on an old ESS interface.
Direct Deposit Security
Protect:
- Routing number
- Account number
- Payroll credentials
- Authentication information
Never submit banking details to an independent LIJ Self Service website.
LIJ W-2
Historical employee self-service supported applicable electronic tax-document workflows.
W-2 forms contain sensitive personal and tax information.
Current or former employees should use Northwell’s current authorized process for tax documents.
LIJ Tax Information
Historical ESS also supported applicable tax-withholding information.
Tax changes can affect future net pay.
Current employees should use present Northwell resources for applicable tax updates.
LIJ Benefits
Historical mySelfService resources included benefits functionality.
Employees could use applicable resources for benefits enrollment and information.
Current plans, eligibility, and technology can differ substantially from historical North Shore-LIJ arrangements.
LIJ Personal Information
Employees could maintain applicable personal information through Employee Self Service.
Keeping records current can help prevent payroll and HR issues.
Current employees should use the employee resource presently assigned by Northwell.
LIJ Leave Information
Historical ESS could also include leave and time-off information.
Current employees should use current Northwell systems for present balances and policies.
Old LIJ Login Not Working
Historical ESS bookmarks may stop working because:
- System changed
- Domain changed
- Authentication changed
- Northwell introduced newer technology
- Older resources were retired
Employees should locate the current Northwell resource rather than repeatedly trying obsolete credentials.
LIJ Self Service vs myExperience
LIJ Self Service represents historical North Shore-LIJ employee technology.
myExperience is part of Northwell’s newer employee environment.
Current Northwell instructions should take priority.
LIJ Self Service vs vPortal
LIJ Self Service historically focused on employee HR and payroll.
vPortal primarily supports remote application access.
The two resources should not be treated as interchangeable.
LIJ Self Service vs Sunrise
LIJ Self Service:
- Payroll
- Direct deposit
- Benefits
- Tax information
- Employee records
Sunrise:
- Clinical EMR
- Patient records
- Notes
- Results
Employees should use the system appropriate to their task.
Former LIJ Employees
Former employees may still need:

- Employment records
Use Northwell’s current process for obtaining applicable documents.
Do not provide Social Security numbers or tax documents to independent websites.
Account Security
Protect:
- Universal ID
- Password
- Pay statements
- Tax documents
