Changing your personal information
This page provides information on how to change your personal information in PeopleSoft (MyGCHR).
Changing your personal information
To change your name, mailing address, marital status, phone number, emergency contacts, or email address, you can use MyGCHR Self-Service online in PeopleSoft. If this option is not available to you, notify your Human Resources Department in writing of any changes.
Other considerations
When your personal information changes, there are a number of other items you may need to update:
- public service pension plan
- group insurance benefit plan
- banking and credit card information
Direct deposit
Direct deposit of all regular salary and supplementary payments is mandatory for all public service employees.
To change your direct deposit information use Phoenix self-service. If you do not have access to Phoenix, send a completed direct deposit enrolment request (accessible only on the Government of Canada network) to the Pay Centre along with the completed pay action request form.
When submitting the PAR, select the following:
- under Section 2 – Work Type, select Direct Deposit - exception
- under Section 3 – Sub Type, select Direct Deposit - exception
If you redirect your pay to a different financial institution, it is important that you do not close your current bank account until you have verified that your pay has been deposited in your new account.
