Staff Connect downtime extended

ACU staff are advised that the planned downtime for Staff Connect will be extended for approximately one week to ensure the successful transition of data to the new HR and Payroll system. Staff Connect will remain view only to enable HR to ensure all the data is transitioned accurately in the new system.

The estimated go-live for the new Staff Connect is during the week of 21 May. HR will communicate with staff as soon as the new Staff Connect can be accessed.

What to do during the downtime

The downtime will affect what staff and supervisors need to do for submitting timesheets, and requesting leave and training course bookings.

Timesheets for the pay fortnight ending 18 May will need to be submitted via the existing online timesheet facility. Once the new Staff Connect is live, online timesheets will be submitted directly through Staff Connect. Current paper based timesheets will continue until they are transitioned through Staff Connect.
