Sequoia: HR & Payroll System
Sequoia is Stanford's new HR & Payroll system. Sequoia Central is your go-to resource for the latest updates, resources, and support information.
Latest updates
Sequoia is live! This is where you'll find the latest on system status and updates.
Our new system launched on July 6. Please be aware that you may experience slower response times. This is normal as users begin to access and explore the platform simultaneously. Performance should stabilize as system traffic levels out over the coming days. We appreciate your patience.
