As shared in the February bulletin, we need to schedule a period of system downtime to complete essential tasks for tax year-end. The schedule for this period is as follows:
Date | Activity |
---|---|
Thursday 24 March |
Standard ‘no user input’ period for People Management users. 17:00 System downtime begins. PeopleXD and HR Reporting will be unavailable. |
Friday 25 March | System downtime continues for PeopleXD and HR Reporting. |
Monday 28 March | System downtime continues for PeopleXD and HR Reporting. We will let you know as soon as PeopleXD and HR Reporting become available. |
All areas of the system will be impacted except the applicant interface, therefore applicants will be unaffected by this work.
Implications for users:
- HR Self-Service will also be unavailable during the full system downtime. A notice has been added to the Staff Gateway page.
- It is likely that the payroll costing reports will be distributed slightly later than usual. However, we expect to be able to meet our commitment to providing these within three days of completion of the payroll run.
As always, we will aim to keep the duration of any downtime to an absolute minimum.
