Introduction

As part of the Staff Connect Phase 2 project, the current staff recruitment system, i-Grasp, will be replaced and a new system will go live on 6 March 2019.

Although this is part of the Staff Connect project, a separate software solution called Stonefish will replace i-Grasp. Stonefish is more tailored to the HE sector and is used by over 35 universities in the UK and presents a slicker user interface which is more intuitive to use than the current system.

For more information on the new system please visit our Staff Connect webpage

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.

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.

From 2 January 2019 you will be able to request annual leave and record sickness absence through Staff Connect.  For managers, there will be a new calendar view showing staff leave and attendance.
