Your First Week

Your Pay

During your first few days on campus, you should get set up on the university’s payroll system. You will need to complete a direct deposit form (included in your letter of employment) and federal and provincial income tax forms and submit them to Payroll Office, Room 152, Henry Hicks Academic Administration Building.

To view your pay, benefits/deductions, T4 information, and job history, go to Dal Online, choose Web for Employees, and log on with your Banner ID. Here you can also update your mailing address and emergency contact information, and sign-up for electronic T4s for tax-filing purposes.

Email and Phone Access

An email account is automatically generated for you once you have been set up on the Payroll system. Please connect with your supervisor regarding set up of phone, computer, email, access to systems and workspace, and make yourself aware of the university’s Acceptable Use Policy.

Your Benefits

If you are eligible for Benefits and/or the Pension plan, you will have received a benefit package with your appointment letter. Visit the pension page for information for new employees. After you have had an opportunity to review the benefit package and the forms to complete, please contact Human Resources at pensions@dal.ca and benefits@dal.ca or call 494-1122.

An Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) is available to Dalhousie employees and dependents to provide confidential assistance with concerns that affect personal, family, and work life, or general well-being.

Employees who are members of the Dalhousie Professional Managerial Group (DPMG) have a health spending account (HSA). The account can be used to pay for medical and dental expenses that are not covered by the regular insured benefits.
