HR Processing Timelines

Employment contracts will be raised by HR Operations once a Recruitment and Appointment Justification E-form has been approved (if applicable) as per the timetables below:   

For new appointments, allow 2 weeks between verbal offer acceptance and employment start date.  This allows sufficient time for system approvals, contract generation, contract acceptance and onboarding formalities prior to the start date, in order to be paid on time. 

Note the timeframe for a contract to be generated is 5 business days.

For fixed term contract renewals (CRAFT), allow 5 business days for contract generation to ensure staff members do not have interruptions to pay or system access.

For casual contracts, allow 24 to 48 hours.
