We’re removing paper-based HR forms

Putting staff in the driver’s seat

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.

Online forms = Increased efficiency

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.
