Overview

With MyHR, it's easy for managers to seek advice and support for employee related situations across an employees lifecycle. Our team can give guidance and prepare best practice documentation for a range of scenarios.

To view the types of support available, log into MyHR and go to HR Services on the left-side navigation menu.

Within HR Services, you’ll find two main tabs.

  • The HR Services tab contains links to forms for a range of employee documentation requests, complemented by a search bar for easy navigation. Forms are arranged according to the employee lifecycle for added clarity.
  • The Request management tab provides a summary of active and inactive requests that you have access to (based on your departmental permissions). You can search by employee name or request type, and can see whether a request is with MyHR for review, or ready for you.

Submitting a request under an employee's profile:

You can go to your employee's profile under the people in the left-side navigation menu. From there, you can go to the HR requests tab and create a request. The options available to you, will be the same as under the HR Services tab.

Service Leave Agreements (SLAs)/turn around times
  • Standard turnaround timeframes are provided below for the different request types. MyHR support hours are Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm.
  • Missing information may result in extended turnaround. When completing a request form, please provide comprehensive information; the more details you include, the faster our team can deliver the support you need.
  • Should any information be missing, or if further clarification is required, our team will reach out to you via the Ask Us chat feature.
