Humber is becoming a greener campus and everyone is participating! Humber Sustainability Highlights feature people and departments around the College integrating sustainable practices. This month’s focus is the change to paperless pay stubs brought to you by Humber’s Human Resources Department!
June 1st was the start of online pay stubs for all Humber employees. Mike Joyal, Human Resources Information System Manager, says there are many benefits to this change.
BENEFITS FOR HUMBER
- Employees have faster access to their pay stubs from any computer at any time.
- The HR Department is able to utilize their time more effectively and focus on other projects.
- Humber will save approximately $30,000 on labour and postage costs.
In addition to Humber’s benefits, there are some significant environmental benefits to Humber moving to online pay stubs.
BENEFITS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
- Humber will save about 130,000 slips of paper every year. This is equivalent to approximately:
- 765,818 litres of annual water savings,[1] which is comparable to the water used by the average Canadian for six years.[2]
- 1,886 kilograms of carbon dioxide [3] (a greenhouse gas) will not be emitted each year. That’s almost the equivalent to a third of a vehicle’s annual carbon dioxide emissions.[4]
- 15 trees will be saved annually.[5]
In the fall of 2015, Joyal said HR hosted a series of Open Houses for Humber employees to observe Humber’s HR processes and to provide input. Employees made specific requests to have the ability to receive pay stubs faster and online both on and off campus.
A key part of this change being successful was making sure personal information remained secure. The implementation of Humber’s banner website in 2013 helped the HR administer online pay stub processes in a secure manner.
Joyal says the initiative to bring online pay stubs online is “about serving people better and giving them better tools.” So far, he says, “the adoption of paperless pay stubs has been phenomenal.”

After 35 years at Humber in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Mike Badyk has decided to retire from teaching. In 30 years as a full-time faculty member, he has made significant contributions to the School, to our department, and, most importantly, to the education of thousands of Humber students.
Mike has been dedicated to keeping his courses full of the latest paleontological finds (Discovering Dinosaurs) and the most recent natural disasters and climate events (Dangerous Earth). By doing so, he has kept students engaged and learning about the world around them. Mike embraced learning outside of the classroom in the Nature of Ontario course and with a field trip to the ROM long before the term “experiential learning” was published in periodicals about pedagogy.
Please join me in congratulating Mike on his retirement.

Even the cool and damp weather could not discourage the spirits of over 190 golfers as they came together for the 4th Annual Humber College Classic golf at Glen Eagle Golf Club in Bolton yesterday.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, participants, and auction donors close to $125,000 was raised. Proceeds from the event will fund student awards and scholarships for Humber students.
The success of the tournament was made possible thanks to the work of many people, schools and departments from across the College. Special thanks are extended to the tournaments working group led by Alister Mathieson, Vice President, Advancement and External Affairs and including Paula Gouveia, Dean, School of Liberal Arts & Sciences, Wanda Buote, Principal, Lakeshore Campus, Lori Falvo, Manager, Marketing and Advertising, Ray Chateau, Director, Athletics, Krista O’Donnell, Chief Advancement Officer, Anna Samulak, Development Officer and Aurelia Kay, Events and Donor Relations Administrator.
Thanks are also in order to all the staff and students who volunteered and helped out at the tournament including our very own Humber varsity golf Hawks, who helped lower golf scores and student musicians from the Humber Music program who entertained golfers after the scores were tallied and the carts were parked. Rudy Blair, Humber alumnus, graduate of the Broadcasting-Radio diploma program and radio personality, graciously donated his time as our emcee and auctioneer for the evening.
Next year will be the 5th anniversary of the event and we hope we can continue to meet and with your help and support, exceed our goals. Stay tuned for more information and details to follow in the coming months.
