Look out for MyHr coming this April

Last year details were included in Inform about progress for the introduction of a new HR and Payroll system.

The aim of the system is to enable the delivery of more efficient processes for our employees, managers and core support services. Making it easier to book holidays, submit expense claims or overtime requests, access online pay slips, record training and enable remote access to your employee profile.

The council’s project team have been working with the appointed contractors gathering the essential information required to implement the new system.

A key difference for staff will be how they access the system. There will be two separate portals into the system – the first will be MyHr an on-line system for individual employees. The second - MyPeople will be for supervisors and line managers to use to manage their employees' HR details including leave and expense claims.

MyHr will be available from April and, to those employees already used to accessing their payslips online via Hr 21, it will offer similar online information including personal HR details, job title and pay information. The benefits of an online system will be available to more employees, including school based staff, when MyHr launches.

Further information on what will be available from the launch of the new system will be provided to employees over the coming weeks.
