Computer and Email logins
Your manager will apply for your computer logins and IT equipment (if needed) before you arrive. You will spend sometime in your first week setting up your IT systems with your manager. We use Microsoft Workspace at LUU.
Staff Savvy login
Everybody in LUU uses our Staff Savvy system to clock in and out of work. If you work shifts at LUU rather than full time, then Staff savvy is where all the rotas will be set up. You will be given full training on how to use Staff Savvy in your role but for now all you need to do is request an account and work through the onboarding steps. This includes all your details to enable us to put you onto our payroll system.
Where will I be working?
Where will I be working?
Currently we have staff working in different locations;
LUU Building
There are some roles in LUU which are very operational, they tend to be the roles in our commercial areas and to do their work our staff need to be in the building. So if you are taking on one of our Bars and Venues roles, Facilities roles or Help and Support roles then the chances are you will be working in the LUU building all the time.
Hybrid workers
We have some staff who are splitting their work week between being in the LUU building and being at home. Our senior managers are working in the building on rotation so there is always a senior manager present in the building ever day. Teams who are running a physical and digital service to students such as our Joblink and Advice team will also be working on a rota of some days in the building and some days remote working. This allows us to provide a physical service in the building but also keep staffing to a minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What should I wear?
Our front facing staff at LUU are allocated with a uniform and any staff working in our catering outlets are given suitable safe and hygienic clothing to keep themselves and our customers safe. For our office based staff LUU has a smart casual dress code, the best way we can describe it is that we dress for our diaries. If we have interviews or important meetings we dress quite smartly but if we have a day at our desk without any meetings then we might be more casual.
Who can I talk to about any Pay/Tax questions?
If you have any concerns or questions about your pay then contact Hannah Jones the superhero who ensures we are all paid on time! For any tax enquiries we usually recommend that you talk directly to the tax office as we just do what we are told by them! But you can always check in with Hannah if you're not sure payroll@luu.ac.uk
