Paper savings, tax exemptions and other Nova news

Thank you to the 1,100-plus UVic employees who have already opted out of receiving paper pay stubs since the launch of the HRIS Go-Green campaign in September. Paper savings so far add up to more than 27,000 sheets of paper a year—a stack over 2.7m tall.

To join this sustainability initiative, log on to uSource using your Netlink ID and password. Choose the Faculty & Staff tab. Within the Self-Service: Your Information channel, select Employee. Choose Electronic Statement Option to opt out of receiving a paper pay stub. If you don’t have a Netlink ID, visit http://helpdesk.uvic.ca to set one up.

All employee pay stubs are archived electronically. If you need to refer to your records in the future, simply click on Pay Stub from the Employee section.

Looking for more paperless self-serve options? Try viewing and updating your provincial and federal TD1 Personal Tax Credits online. From the Employee section, select TD1 Personal Tax Credits. Under Next Step, choose “new.” Enter the effective date and fill in the claim amounts. Electronically sign the form before submitting it. Be sure to create both a federal and provincial tax form.

Effective January 1, new federal and provincial tax tables were applied to employee records. If you did not update your federal and provincial TD1 forms before the end of 2007, all personal exemptions will have reverted to the basic personal amount. For more information, call HRIS at 721-7034 or email hris@uvic.ca.

The Nova Student Team celebrated the go-live of the Admissions system in September. The team carried out mock registration sessions during the fall in preparation for the launch of the new Summer Studies registration system in March 2008.
