The new HR & payroll system has been successfully implemented. The payroll for December 2015 and January 2016 have been performed with the new system with a hitch.

More efficiency and zero errors in handling employees’ data is one of the HR Department targets.

Moreover, as the new system is linked automatically to the main other systems of the University, there is now less duplication in data entry and more accuracy in data storage.

Last but not the least, the New HR system being implemented, is contributing to meet the accreditation indicator 6.7 “Comprehensive administrative records must be organized and stored efficiently, easily accessed and used effectively”.

The next phase of the HR system will be developed later and will consist of opening the system to the employees to allow them to view with total confidentiality their payslips and to request leave, loans, visa, tickets, etc.

This task has been performed under the guidance of Mr. Mohammad Yousif, VP Admin and Finance and Community Engagement and thanks to the cooperation of employees from the HR & Finance Directorate headed by Mr. Abdullah Al Khaja (Mr. Bilal Enanbeh, Mr. Rakan Al Qaisi) and the cooperation of Mr. Maan Nasser Head of Administrative Affairs. And special thanks to Shadia Abualasal from ICT & KM Directorate who has analyzed the needs, developed the system, tested it, trained the end users and technically implemented the system.
