Personal Details Changes
Where an employee changes his/her name he/she should advise their principal or workplace manager in writing so that accurate employee records can be maintained on the Department’s payroll system.
An employee 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 employee's name.
The employee 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 the payroll. For VPS employees the details of the change should be forwarded to Corporate HR Services using the form available under Procedures and Forms below.
