The new Staff Connect allows staff to initiate many forms/processes independently which are automatically sent off to supervisors for approval (where applicable). This enables close to ‘real-time’ updating of employee records as they feed directly into the HR/Payroll solution.
ACU has implemented a new HR/Payroll solution to support the University’s changing needs and create greater efficiencies for all users. The new system improves access to employee records via Staff Connect and gives staff and supervisors access to a range of improved HR forms and processes. Take a look below to see some of the forms/processes we’ve moved across to Staff Connect.
| Form/Process | What | Initiated by |
|---|---|---|
| Timesheets (including overtime) | Use Staff Connect to submit timesheets (including overtime claims). | Staff member |
| Request to Vary | Use Staff Connect to request a variation to an existing staff member’s working arrangements (change to location or supervisor or working hours/days). | Supervisor |
| Claims for meal / travel allowance | Use Staff Connect to submit claims for items such as meal / travel allowances. | Staff member |
| Tax declaration & variation | Use Staff Connect to update your tax declaration details (eg change to HECS status, variation to taxation rate, claiming the tax-free threshold). | Staff member |
| Employee Separation (Resignation) | Use Staff Connect to provide formal notice of your resignation to the University. | Staff member |
| Parental leave | Use Staff Connect to apply for parental leave via the ‘Forms’ function. | Staff member |
| Higher duties | Use Staff Connect to place a staff member on higher duties. | Supervisor |
