New Employee Account platform launching soon

New Employee Account: Key Dates and Information

Currently, services can submit a range of HR and Payroll requests through the Employee Account, including Special Leave, Contract Amendment and Contract Termination forms.

We are pleased to announce that we will shortly be launching a new and improved Employee Account platform.

To allow for the migration to the new system, the current Employee Account will close at 5pm on Thursday 27 August 2026.

Important Dates

Thursday 27 August 2026 (5pm)

• please ensure that all existing Employee Account requests are fully approved before the system closes
• any new requests are submitted and approved before the deadline where possible. Where possible await the new system ‘go live’ to submit
• requests that remain in progress at the time of closure may need to be resubmitted in the new system

Friday 28 August 2026

• the Employee Account will be unavailable while information is transferred to the new platform

Monday 31 August 2026 (9am)

• the new Employee Account will be live and available for use.

Accessing the New Employee Account

The new Employee Account will be accessed through the existing link on Connects (from Monday 31 August).

The new platform uses Single Sign-On (SSO), meaning there will be no need to remember or enter usernames and passwords. The same applies to approvals, as managers will be taken directly to the system from the approval link contained within the email notification.

HR hope these improvements will make submitting and approving requests quicker and easier for everyone. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch by emailing the HR Operations team.
