Personal Information

Let's take a moment to understand the Personal tab in your Humi profile. This section contains standard fields for important employee information, such as emergency contacts and personal details. Additionally, you can also add custom fields to accommodate your organization's specific needs.

Making updates to your personal information is easy, just click the edit button in the top right corner of each section and click to make your changes. However, please note the following important considerations for a couple of key fields:

Preferred Name / Legal Name:

Your preferred name is the name that will be displayed across the Humi platform and in email communications generated by Humi. Your legal name, on the other hand, will be used for formal document signing within Humi and for payroll purposes.

It's helpful to remember that when utilizing Humi's search functions (for example, the directory, time-off requests, or performance reviews), the employee's preferred name will be used for search results.

SIN + Address:

For employees using Humi Payroll, the Social Insurance Number (SIN) and your personal address are required fields. The address you provide will be used on official documents such as your Record of Employment (ROE) and your annual T4 tax form. Ensuring the accuracy of this information is important, as your address can have implications for taxation.
