Introduction

Following the introduction of Staff Connect, employees and workers have direct control over updating their personal details though MyView. This can be done at your own convenience without the need to send an electronic or paper form to HR for your details to be updated.

All staff will be asked to check their data where key information may be missing.

For more information please visit our Update your Personal Details webpage

You are now able to request annual leave and record sickness absence through Staff Connect; the University’s integrated HR and Payroll system.

This is part of the continuing development of Staff Connect which aims to streamline our HR processes and extend employee and manager self-service, providing a one-stop-shop for as many HR activities as possible.

The Recognising Excellence in Academia project team have been working with colleagues across the University to create an Academic Career Map (ACM). For further information about the ACM and have your say in shaping it, please visit the Academic Career Map pages.

The new training and appraisal functions are now live on Staff Connect. You can already use Staff Connect to view your payslip and view and change your personal details but the additions of training requests and the recording of appraisals (RPDs) extends the benefit of the system significantly.
