Overview
The Workforce Information Network (WIN) system is a business-critical Ontario Public Service (OPS) system that is based on the Oracle PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application.
• WIN is used to maintain OPS employees’ human resources (HR), payroll, benefit, absence management, and compensation information.
• It is operating on PeopleSoft HCM 9.2 (Image 48) on PeopleTools 8.61.09 (as of July 2026).
• The WIN system administers compensation for approximately 68,000 OPS employees, processes payroll and enables the appropriate deductions and remittances to third parties (e.g., income tax to the Canada Revenue Agency).
• It is the repository of employee and position data, job descriptions, and grievances/dispute data for within the OPS. The WIN system also maintains socio-demographic data voluntarily provided by OPS employees.
• The WIN Digital Onboarding Project will enhance the WIN system in various ways. The project will:
• Digitize critical human resources and payroll processes that are currently manual or paper-based, including onboarding, benefits enrolment, and life events management.
• Enhance the WIN system by expanding additional employee and manager self-service capabilities (e.g., extension/end to probationary period, certificate numbers, badge numbers), enabling pay and benefits staff to focus on administrative efficiencies realized through this implementation and redirect their efforts towards more value-added activities.
• Transition Classic+ pages to the Fluid interface by upgrading additional legacy administrative pages and implementing technical upgrades to be in sync with vendor-supported application capabilities.
