Queensland Shared Service (QSS) has issued a statement advising Public Service members they will soon be able to arrange for their pay to be started by completing just one online form.
QSS said it was combining the Start my pay (offline) PDF form, Commencement PDF form and the online Start my pay form, into one new, single online form.
“The Pay commencement form will simplify and streamline the onboarding process for QSS customers, and remove the need for QSS to follow up with agencies to confirm commencement,” QSS said.
It said the online Pay commencement form began on 3 February this year with QSS payroll continuing to accept the Start my pay (offline) and Commencement PDF forms until Friday 3 March.
“From Monday 6 March 2023, QSS Payroll will only accept the online Pay commencement form for getting pay started,” it said.
The Service set out a series of steps for new agencies within the Public Service
that involved a change of payroll system.
“Your hiring manager must complete an appointment request (currently using My.Appointment),” it said.
“On your first day or shortly after, you, or someone on your behalf, must complete the Pay commencement form. You may also need to submit a Superannuation standard choice form and copies of your qualifications.”
“Once the form is submitted by you, or the person submitting it on your behalf, Payroll will complete the request and provide you with confirmation they have started your pay.
“Visit Pay calendar and cut off times to confirm when you’ll receive your first pay!”
The Service set out a range of reasons why it was doing what it was, explaining it was to make it easier for the member to complete transactions with it.
It said the next PDF form to convert would be the Job analysis questionnaire form which is scheduled for March this year.
