Recruitment
HR administration access in eduPay and Recruitment Online
Principals may provide access to certain roles in eduPay and Recruitment Online for employees who undertake additional human resources (HR) or recruitment responsibilities. This process will also assign additional access to their own record if required. Use the eduPay security page available in Manager Self Service. The assignment of additional access is processed on eduPay following an overnight process.
Use the MSS-QRG-Security Management Guide (staff login required) for assistance and instructions for principals to manage eduPay additional access for employees in their school. Only the additional access relevant to the employee's position and role in the school is to be provided. This process is not used to provide employee self-service as this is automatically assigned.
All users with additional access are reminded that all information must be kept secure and only used in accordance with any privacy legislation requirements.
New or acting principal appointment — assign principal rights in eduPay
Where a new or acting principal has been appointed to the school, principal rights to eduPay will need to be assigned. Complete the Request for Principal Access to eduPay form (staff login required) and send to the fax or email address on the form.
Employee works at multiple school locations
Where an employee performs the HR role at multiple school locations, access cannot be completed by the principal. The eduPay multiple access request form must be completed.
Contractor or other non-employee access
Where access or a change of access is required for a contractor or other non-employee, the eduPay contractor access form must be completed.
