First time users

The log on page opens each time you log on.  You will need to have a recent paycheck with you when you log on for the first time to validate your identity and to establish a Personal Identification Number (PIN).  You will only need this information the first time you log on.  Once you establish a PIN you will no longer need your paycheck for validation.  Your new PIN will be used to gain access to the Probusiness Payroll Work Center.
