From 4 January 2021 we will be working with the new HR and payroll system called MyHR (AFAS). This is a new platform where you can manage your details regarding your job, such as submitting a leave request or report sick leave. On this webpage we outline the most important aspects to know your way around, for example: an instruction animation, faq, background information project and where to go for contact & support.

Why a new system?
For current HR registrations and processes we use different systems. This makes it difficult to manage matters. Users experience it as complicated as well. AFAS will simplify the entering of HR registrations and processes.
Our aim is to improve HR processes continuously and to reduce the administrative burden by using the ever increasing possibilities of digitisation. No only do we wish to reduce the number of systems, but above all to make it clearer and easier for managers and employees to process their registrations.

Why AFAS?
Following an extensive tendering process, the software system of AFAS was identified as the best.
"It is an already proven system based on operational excellence and best practices. Our fellow universities RUG and Eindhoven University also work with it", Mirjam Bult, Vice President Executive Board.
Advantages of this new system
- From various customised systems, to one portal/application.
- All HR registrations (leave request, absence, salary slip) can be completed through one application via the employee portal and via the AFAS pocket app.
- Employees will be able to enter more data themselves.
- More efficiency and an improved look & feel.
- More user-friendliness.
