HR self service
Manage personal information, expenses, absence and view your pay documents.
HR Self service now uses Single sign-on (SSO). You will no longer need your three security questions.
Access to HR Self-Service is only available whilst your contract is active.

Pay grade history now visible in Appointment History
Grade, pro rata spinal point value and hourly point rate can be viewed for each post you hold. Once logged into HR Self Service, navigate to your 'Account' icon (your image at the top right of the screen) and select 'View My Details'. To view your pay grade history, expand the Appointment History section and select the 'i' icon next to the Pay Grade field. A pop-up window will then appear detailing any changes to your grade. Use the expand arrows to view the spinal point value and hourly point rate for each entry.
If you have any questions or queries related to the information displayed please contact selfservice@st-andrews.ac.uk.
