The tabs are still available within the new BannerWeb user interface. They are now located under the Banner Menu button. This button is located in the top left hand corner of the page and appears as 4 squares. 

What does the "Home" button do?

The home button when click will always get you back to the Employee Dashboard when using new BannerWeb Pages. The home button will not appear if accessing a link to old BannerWeb pages.
