1 Introduction Human Resources provides myHRinfo for employees and managers at UW to login and view many pieces

of information regarding their employment at UW. Navigate to myHRinfo.uwaterloo.ca

Click on the ‘Login to myHRinfo’ hyperlink to log in. There are also hyperlinks here for General

Information, Help and the Human Resources site.

http://myhrinfo.uwaterloo.ca/


5

When logging in, employees use their WatIAM user id and password credentials. Please view the Help

menu on the web site if having difficulties logging into myHRinfo.


6

1.1 Usability Hints Please do not use the back or forward buttons in your browser to navigate through pages of

myHRinfo. These buttons will not work properly since you are logged into a vendor application, not

accessing a general web page.

Do not ever share your password with anybody, under any circumstances. This will give that person

access to your own personal information within myHRinfo. Any changes this person would make under

your user id and password would be recorded in the database as coming from you and you would be

held accountable for those changes. If a situation arises where somebody does not have the

appropriate access, please email [email protected].

It is best to either turn off the pop up blocker for your internet browser or to set it to trust all pop ups

from this site. For assistance on how to do this for your internet browser, please view the pop up

blocker Help documentation for the internet browser and version that you are using. All browsers have

a ‘Help’ menu item available.

There is a system timeout that is set to be 15 minutes of inactivity. If you are interrupted during data

entry, please remember to Save your work often.

All of the screenshots in this document were done in a test instance with test data.

2 New Look and Feel and New Features

2.1 Content and Layout The first time that users login to the new myHRinfo, the content and layout will look different than what

they are used to.

The new myHRinfo now has an enhanced menu that enables the user to use drop-down navigation to

access the pages within myHRinfo. Drop-down navigation is an intuitive way of accessing functions

within myHRinfo and it consists of a hierarchy of cascading folders and pages. As employees navigate,

the path appears across the top of the page (also known as breadcrumbs) to show their location. Users

can use the drop-down navigation from any point within myHRinfo.

2.2 Search The Search feature allows users to find the menu item that they want very easily. Navigate to the Main

Menu and enter in any information for a search and click the arrows beside the search box. The search

returns only the list of references that the user is authorized to view.


8

2.3 Recently Used Recently Used is a list of menu items that users have visited recently. This list allows users to navigate

more easily amongst the menu items that they use most frequently. Navigate to Favorites and you will

see the Recently Used menu items that you can click on to take you directly to the specific page.

NOTE: currently the functionality for adding “Favorites” is not available, this will be something added in

the future.

2012). Make all appropriate changes and click the Save button.


12

3.3 Phone Numbers Employees can view their current phone numbers, and can also make changes to these phone numbers

online at Self Service>Personal Information>Phone Numbers

online at Self Service>Personal Information>Emergency Contacts. These emergency contacts are

visible to managers, so that they could contact them in case of an emergency.

16

All historical cheques are visible since the University brought in this system in 1998. Employees will see

Beginning in November 2011, paycheques will be viewable as PDF files – which are much more easily

printed. The last column shows which paycheques are viewable as a pdf file.


17

Each paycheque has details on earnings, taxes, deductions and benefits.


18

4.2 Pay Statement Print Options If an employee has not given consent to receive their pay advice electronically in myHRinfo (eg. they

on how to change this Pay Statement Print Option. This hyperlink also takes you to the section on how

to change your Direct Deposit (see section 4.4 for more on this).

example” hyperlink will remind employees where to find their Branch ID, Bank ID and Account Number

on their cheques.


22

After filling in all information regarding the bank account, click Submit.


23

A confirmation message comes up so that the employee can review all of the information that they have

entered and ensure that it was accurate. It is very important that the banking information is accurate

in order to ensure the processing of all employees’ pay is correct. Click OK to finalize the changes.

A confirmation shows that the submit was successful and reminds you that due to timing, this change

may not be immediately reflected on your upcoming pay period and you may still receive a paper copy

for this pay period.

4.5 View T4/T4A Slips Yearend slips are now available online for myHRinfo users. This includes the T4 and T4A slips that

6 Learning and Development The University of Waterloo currently offers enrolling in learning and development courses through the

myHRinfo system (courses available through OHD, IST, CTE, Safety, etc).

In addition, UW has recently started something called myProfile in myHRinfo. MyProfile offers a new

way for you to store information about your career. In the future, the University will investigate this

tool to support recruitment, career management and strategic workforce planning. myProfile is also a

part of the Learning and Development section.

6.1 myProfile In myHRinfo, an employee can track important information about their career in myProfile. Navigate to

Self Service>Learning and Development>My Current Profile.

My Current Profile will bring up the profile that is currently attached to the employee. If an employee

would like to view Profiles at previous dates, they should select My Historical Profile from the Learning

and Development menu item. If an employee has a menu item on My Job Profiles, there will be no

information there as the University has not yet implemented Job Profiles.

Within myProfile there is a function called Profile Actions – although it is visible on an employee’s

profile, it is not something that the University can currently use.

The first time that an employee looks at myProfile, it may be empty. Some information from the

previous version of myHRinfo might have come over into myProfile (eg. Any licenses and certifications

previously completed through Learning and Development).

myProfile is where employees can track their Qualifications (Language Skills, Licenses and Certifications,

Memberships, Honours and Awards), Education (Degrees and other Post-Secondary education) and

Projects (UW Committees and Other Committees).

Employees are able keep their profiles up to date by simply adding, removing or editing their

information throughout time. Employees need to ensure that they click the Save button after many any

changes to their Profile.

10 Manage Delegation Delegation is the ability for a manger to give access to another employee to do some of their work on

their behalf. Although the Delegation feature shows as a part of Employee Self Service (not Manager

Self Service) – only managers will have the ability to delegate.

Currently, there is the capability to delegate Job Opening Approvals, Job Offer Approvals and Reports To

Change Requests. NOTE – once you delegate to someone else, the manager no longer has the ability to

do those tasks themself.

Any manager that is delegating to an employee needs to ensure that the employee fully understands

how to complete the tasks they will be required to work on. The employee must ensure that they have

read the documentation on how to do Job Opening Approvals, Job Offer Approvals and Reports To

Change Requests.

Navigate to Self Service>Manage Delegation.


80

From this page, someone can find out more about Delegation by selecting the Learn More About

Delegation link.

The ONLY other option for employees, who are not managers, will be Review My Delegated Authorities.

Information on how Managers can Create a Delegation Request or how they can Review My Proxies is in

Chapter 6 of the Manager Self Service documentation.


81

10.1 Accepting or Rejecting a Delegation Request Employees will receive an email letting them know when someone has put in a Delegation Request. The

email provides a link to where they need to go to accept or reject the request.

Navigate to Self Service>Manage Delegation and click on Review My Delegated Authorities.

A drop down menu allows you to select which request you want to look at (by status). You can change

the drop down menu to be blank if you want to see all delegated authorities.

You will see that multiple transactions show up in one row, you can click on the link for Multiple

Transactions and it will provide you with more details.


82

Select the transaction that you wish to take action on and click Accept or Reject – and you will get a

confirmation screen.

This confirms that the employee has now taken on the responsibility to do the things they have been

delegated to do – and they must ensure that they have read the appropriate documentation to do the

work as required.


83

11 My Feeds RSS Feeds are a feature in myHRinfo that allow employees to get information on Job Openings in a

different manner than logging into myHRinfo each time. (read the Applicants documentation to learn

more about how to search for jobs at UW).

RSS Feeds provide a real-time update on job openings (both internal and external) either through an

Internet Browser or through your email.

Browse to the My Feeds menu item in myHRinfo.

This page allows the employee to search to see what Feeds are available through myHRinfo. Click on

the Search button to see the 2 results available.


84

The two feeds currently available are the UW Job Openings and UW Job Openings (External) feeds. Click

on the hyperlink to find out more about that particular feed.


85

The internet browser will ask how to subscribe to the feed. Choices may include MS Outlook, Google,

Bookmarts, etc. (there are many ways to use RSS Feeds, more can be found about RSS Feeds online).

In Addition, a list of the job openings are shown on the page – an employee could click the hyperlink of a

job to find out more.

NOTE – the RSS Feeds are separate for internal job postings and external job postings. Although the

feeds show basic information about job openings, there are still strict rules on who may or may not see

the job openings right within the Recruitment portion of myHRinfo. Anyone who does not have access

to internal job postings will NOT be able to use the RSS Feeds to find out more details about internal

jobs.

Click Subscribe Now to confirm the subscription. Depending on the way the employee is subscribing,

there are different ways to complete this process.

If subscription is done through the internet browser, then the user can view the feed of the job openings

at any time through their browser. If the subscription is done through Outlook, then the user can view

the feed at any time through Outlook. (NOTE: Outlook does not always allow the feed to be set up this

way – if it does not work, try to copy the hyperlink at the top of the website of the feeds and paste it

into the Outlook box to manually add a RSS feed)
