Memorial University recently announced a major upgrade to Self-Service that is coming in October (please click here for information) that will result in modernizations to the suite of products that the university utilizes: Student and Faculty, HR and Finance.

The scheduled go live date is Monday, Oct. 6, 2025. To accommodate this upgrade, Self-Service will not be available between Oct. 3-5.  Users of Banner HR are encouraged to have any required data updates keyed in the system by end of day on Oct. 2. While there may be times during the upgrade process where Banner HR may appear to be available, please do not enter new data until Oct. 6 as it may not be captured and subsequently could be lost.

As communicated, the Banner Self-Service upgrade will enable a number of new user-friendly features in Banner HR.  A new employee dashboard for employee Self-Service will provide employees with quick and easy access to their leave balances and pay stub information. For supervisors, a new “My Team” feature will be phased in and will provide a summary view of employee data including the Memorial Number, contact information, employee picture, hire date and leave balances. Another new functionality of the Self-Service upgrade is direct time and leave entry. This will be launched as a pilot project in early October to select units to allow employees and supervisors the opportunity to test this functionality and provide feedback. 

Units involved in the pilot project will be provided training during the week of September 15. Department administrators and employees responsible for entering time and leave within these units will be contacted in the coming days with information regarding the date/time of their online training sessions.  If your unit is interested in participating in direct time and leave entry following the completion of the pilot project, please contact hrtech@mun.ca.

We are excited for you to see the changes and modernizations that come with this upgrade. If you have any questions or need HR support during this time, please reach out to your HR advisor or manager, or contact MyHR.

Thank you for your support as we make this upgrade.
