Introduction - Project Recap
Why?
• HRMS is currently on release 9.0 and reached end of extended support with the vendor in June 2015.
• The system must be upgraded to the currently supported release of 9.2 to maintain vendor support and access to security and compliance related patches and future functional product releases.
The scope of the HCM 9.2 Upgrade project is;
• To upgrade HCM from release 9.0 to 9.2.
• To rollback customisations, particularly those that impact on taxation.
• To make changes to the configuration of payroll.
• To enhance SSO by addressing known issues and implementing new features in 9.2.
• To provide timely and contextual decision support to managers and employees directly through the HR system through the use of new functionality in release 9.2.
• To apply maintenance application patches to the Campus Solutions and Finance systems.
Out of scope
• Significant upgrades to Finance or Campus Solutions
• Introduction of new modules in HCM such as ePerformance and Learning Management.

What else will be different?
Old leave requests not approved
The pending approvals pagelet will show all leave transactions not yet approved – including many that have
been around for a while. These old requests will now escalate correctly if not attended to.
Managers need to be aware that these will be visible and potentially old. They could be associated with staff
who have left. For assistance on handling these requests please call the HR Service Centre.
Payroll changes that staff may see;
HELP and SFSS tax will now be deducted from any leave entitlements paid on termination. This will increase
the amount of tax deducted from final payments which staff may not be expecting.
Adjustments to pay that go back to a previous financial year will require a new payment summary. It will be
the responsibility of the employee to reclaim any overpayment of tax from the tax office.
