Employee Benefits

Every employee and supervisor will, from time to time, have questions about pay, entitlements, changing details, etc. This page shows you the various topics for which you can obtain further information. You can quickly access the more common areas from the menu to the left (hover the mouse over Money, Money, Money and a menu will pop out from which you can make a quick selection). You may find that some of your questions have already been answered on the Frequently Asked Questions page.

New to Murdoch University?

The first thing you'll need to do is obtain your staff username and password from IT Services using the Murdoch Password Request Form (a copy of which was supplied with your contract documentation). Once a password is issued you will be able to access MyHR and look up and modify your details.

Existing employees & supervisors

One of the first things you will want to do is regularly look up your payslips, leave entitlements and bookings (and leave approvals if you are a supervisor for whom team leave approvals are implemented). To do these things you will access MyHR and logon using your staff number and password. Besides looking up your payslips you can:

Modify your home address and phone numbers
Add or modify emergency contacts
Add or modify any disability information that may be useful in planning your work environment
Add, Change or Delete bank account details **New as at 6th February 2009**

After you've worked at Murdoch University for a while there will be certain things that change - for example: you open a new bank account, want to change the amount of money sent to a second account, make a superannuation choice, etc. Here are some of the more common changes with direction on how to do them:

Change banking details - log on to MyHR and select MyHR>My Pay>Bank Details. Update your bank details and save the changes (see Updating Bank Details Help).
Update home address - logon to MyHR and select MyHR > Personal Information > Personal Contacts from the left menu. Update your address and save the changes.
Lodge a Super Choice election - complete the required form and return it to the Office of Human Resources (for more information please see Superannuation).

Information for supervisors and managers, employees and administrative staff

The payroll is generated fortnightly with the exception of the Xmas/New Year break where special arrangements apply. Information on the payroll cycles, cut-off dates, changes after cut-offs, etc. can be found on the Pay Scales page.

If you require information on pay rates and the calculation of on-costs for budgeting or recruitment, then retrospective and prospective data can be found from the Pay Scales page.

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. The Office of Human Resources posts payment summaries to employees in addition to making them available electronically. Payment summaries for 2009-2010 are posted to employees in the 1st week of July. To check your current postal address go to MyHR>My Personal Information > Personal Contacts then select Contact Details, and if required, edit and "Update." Follow this link for assistance http://www.murdoch.edu.au/hr2/reference/Update_personal_information_demo.html. To print an electonic copy go to MyHR>My Pay > Payment Summary and print. You can view a demonstration here. If you no longer have access to MyHR and need a copy printed you will need to contact your area Employee Services Officer.
