Personal Details Changes
Where a staff member changes her/his name she/he should advise their principal or workplace manager so that accurate employee records can be maintained.
A staff member may change their name as the result of:
- Marriage, and subsequent adoption of the spouse's surname, or divorce and reversion to a former name;
- Change of name by registration of change of name;
- The need to correct an error in the spelling of the staff member's name.
The staff member should provide evidence of their name change. A statutory declaration is acceptable evidence if other formal papers are not available.
For school staff, the name change should be entered on HRMS. For staff in non-school locations the details of the change should be forwarded to VPS HR Services using the form available under Procedures and Forms below.
