Human Resources & Payroll System

The Human Resources & Payroll System Project

The University’s current HR & Payroll System was implemented in 2004. In 2015 the University undertook and external review of the HR & Payroll systems provision with the purpose of identifying the best way forward for HR & Payroll technological provision. The review focussed on the need to underpin the University’s People Strategy 2015-2020 (see Appendix 1) by the provision of simple, efficient, technology enabled processes (aspiring towards self-service). The People Strategy further supports the University’s Strategic Framework goal ‘to ensure that [the University] is an inspiring place to work, where people are able to develop and realise their potential within a friendly and professional learning community’.

The University’s vision for the new system is that it will deliver:
