Payment Summaries

Payment summaries are issued to employees at the end of each financial year. A payment summary shows how much income you received from a payer during the year and how much tax they withheld. All employees to whom the University paid salary or wages and postgraduate students who were in receipt of taxable scholarships in the 2012/13 financial year will receive a payment summary.

Current employees or postgraduate students can view and print payment summaries on MyHR. By selecting My Pay, Payment Summaries and clicking on the Serial # of the tax year you require. To view, print or save your payment summary, select PAYG Payment Summary.

If you are not a current employee or postgraduate student and have not received your payment summary via post please contact the Employee Services Officer in the area you previously worked in.
