However, once the initial test is completed, employees may continue to access My Biz to view their personal information.

Employees at the test bases will be able to view data related to their civilian employment and will have limited capability to update their e-mail address, work phone, handicap code, race and national origin, and language.

Employees may also view appointments, current and historical position information, salary, awards, bonus and performance information, and benefits.
