2. Today’s Goal Today’s goal is to help you to understand what HRMS is, and how to: initiate follow verify changes in a Research employee’s record in the Human Resources component of Wolverine Access (HRMS). 2

3. What is HRMS? HRMS is the abbreviation for the M-Pathways Human Resource Management System Accessible through Wolverine Access, it is often simply referred to as Wolverine Access, WA, or “the system” It is used for Academic and Non-Academic Research appointments. 3

4. Instructional HR Appointment Paperwork Flowchart For Appointment Request Forms (new hire paperwork) and Wolverine Access Submittal Forms (appointment changes) HRRIS (Records) Puts appt or change on line and makes it effective. Deb/Tom are liaison to HRRIS for LSA instructional appointments. Deb Faculty (Lecturers and professors), visitors and research appointments All LSA Departments Questions Path of instructional HR paperwork All instructional appointment and appointment change paperwork for LSA units must be routed through Divisional Affairs via Deb Erskine or Tom Hart. Appointment paperwork is usually initiated by the department. Some appointments and/or changes require prior approval by the LSA EC and possibly a Regents Communication. Academic personnel changes are effective only after HRRIS receives the signed paperwork from the College and data-enters the change on Wolverine Access. Questions Heavy arrow = flow of paperwork PLEASE REMEMBER to consider Deb and Tom your liaison to HRRIS and Academic Human Resources for LSA instructional appointments. Our goal is to process all instructional paperwork through to HRRIS within 48 working hours of receipt in the Dean’s Office. Peak times at the beginning of the term or highly complex problems may extend that turnaround time. Tom GSI/GSRA appointments, Peoplepay payments 4

5. What actions should units initiate via the HRMS system? New hires Additional appointments Appointment changes, including: Effort changes Department Budget Earnings (DBE) changes: e.g., short code changes and split funding Additional pay on active appointments (pay that does not generate effort) Terminations REMEMBER: HRMS is a “dead” system; you do not enter data directly. You use the submittal screens on Wolverine Access (such as the Job Data and Department Budget Earnings Changes screens) to create and print a paper submittal form. 5

8. The department creates and prints the submittal form and secures the appropriate departmental signatures. The submittal is sent to Divisional Affairs to be checked and approved. If needed, Divisional Affairs asks the department to make corrections to the paperwork. After approval, Divisional Affairs sends the paper submittal to HRRIS. HRRIS data-enters the information into HRMS. Department verifies appointment accuracy in Wolverine Access. The Flow of an HR change 8 Department regularly checks Gross Pay Register to confirm correct pay.

17. When will I see my new appointment or change on the system? Under normal circumstances during the term, you can look for your appointment or change on Wolverine Access approximately 5-7 business days AFTER delivery to Divisional Affairs (Deb or Tom). Exceptions to “normal circumstances” are: Unusual appointments or unusual appointment changes. Errors in paperwork or missing forms. The busiest times of the year (September and January, the beginning of each term). REMEMBER: New appointments always take longer than most changes to existing appointments. 17

18. An Error with Appointment or Pay? First determine: Is the appointment correct in HRMS? YES? If the appointment is correct in HRMS: Contact the Payroll Office to see why the appointment didn’t pay as you expected. Contact Deb or Tom if that doesn’t resolve the issue. NO? If the appointment is not correct in HRMS: Check your file copy of the appointment paperwork or change submittal. Is it correct? If the submittal was incorrectly data entered into HRMS, contact Divisional Affairs (Deb or Tom). Please do NOT contact HRRIS. Submittal incorrect? New submittal needed. 18

19. Faculty Summer Appointments Reasons for summer pay: Active effort – teaching or research “Ninths” as promised in offer letter The summer empl record is the mechanism for appointing and compensating instructional, U-Year faculty during the summer. Note these restrictions on summer pay: A maximum of 2/9 ths salary is allowed in one summer on general funds. Sponsored funds may not be charged in the month of May as summer salary. 19

20. Summer Appointments – The Process Department creates a new, summer empl record#, if one doesn’t already exist. Points to remember when creating a U-Year summer empl record: Mirror appointment period and begin and end dates (if applicable) of original appointment. Determine monthly dollars/effort by dividing original salary by 9 (U-YR) or 8 (U-YRT) or 4 (Term) to determine maximum monthly salary allowed. Term IIIA submittals: Submit by May 1 Term IIIB submittals: Submit by July 1 20

21. Supplemental Pay to Instructional Staff Empl Status=Active or Leave With Pay Empl Status= Unpaid leave (or work break), or if all Empl Records are terminated Must pay supplemental pay via Additional Pay Submittal (Wolverine Access) Must pay via Peoplepay process (not via Wolverine Access). ALL Peoplepay forms paid by LSA departments must be submitted to the Dean’s Office for approval. Peoplepay to instructional employees, or for instruction related services (guest speakers, honoraria) are approved by Tom Hart. Peoplepay for non-instructional people or non-instructional services are approved by Diane Benson. When in doubt of who should approve your Peoplepay form, send it to either Diane Benson or Tom Hart. 21

22. 22 The Employee Record Summary displays the empl status as it is now Determining Empl Status (whether to pay supplemental pay through Additional Pay or Peoplepay) is accomplished most easily by going into a submittal form page. (REMEMBER you can’t use sponsor funds for additional pay— those funds require effort.) Supplemental Pay to Instructional Staff (continued)

23. STATUS of empl record must be active or leave with pay. Otherwise, must be paid via Peoplepay. EARNINGS CODE must be appropriate. (See acronyms list.) EARNINGS AMOUNT = Monthly amount. EFFECTIVE AND END DATE = Beginning and end dates of pay periods in which monthly amount will pay. ADDITIONAL PAY SUBMITTAL SAL Salary Supplement 23

24. Current Research Faculty aren’t eligible for Leaves. Options available to them: Vacation timeLeave without Salary Medical/Sick Leaves through Work Connections 24

25. Retirements The Emeritus Title Granted by the Regents as a result of the official request which takes the form of the retirement memoir, prepared by the department. Draft memoirs are due approximately 60 days prior to retirement date. Reminders are sent each term from Dean’s Office to all units. Timely submission of the memoir AND the HR termination paperwork ensures timely conferral of emeritus status. 25

26. Resignations/Terminations/Reduction in Force (RIF) for anyone with a 12-month appt. Verify vacation time before requesting RIF status. Non-reappointments, retirements, resignations, and deaths all require that the Layoff and Termination Form be submitted to the Dean’s Office. End date of appointment = end date of benefits FYI - Pay ends with June 30 check (for UYear appointments). Please make sure that employee effort certifies. (Refer to CRO and LSA Research web pages for instructions and details.) 26

27. Reduction in Force (RIF) PROCESS LSA Process Template documents are available for use to transmit request to College and OVPR. A third template for letting the Research Faculty member know the decision once approved by OVPR and College (http://lsa.umich.edu/research/policies/prs ). http://lsa.umich.edu/research/policies/prs OVPR asks that we follow the RIF procedure which is provided in the next slide. So packet which includes the DivAD letter, the request to OVPR, and the draft RIF memo to the candidate should be sent to the Research Office for review and forwarding to OVPR. 27

28. Reduction in Force (RIF) PROCESS LSA Process 15. Reduction-in-Force Research faculty reduction-in-force (RIF, layoff) actions are governed by Standard Practice Guide (SPG) 201.72 – Reduction-in-Force. In addition to the requirements established by SPG 201.72, the joint approval of OVPR and the Office of Academic Human Resources (AHR) is required before a unit may issue a RIF notification to a research faculty member. The appointing unit must submit the RIF proposal to OVPR, which will work jointly with AHR to review the proposal. All proposed RIF actions should be submitted to OVPR with sufficient lead-time to allow for the appropriate coordinated review. Additional requirements are provided below: For all research faculty, appointing units must provide a minimum notice of 90 days before a RIF takes effect. For RIF proposals that would affect research faculty with less than three years of service, the appointing unit must provide substantial documentation of why the unit is unable to fulfill its original three-year commitment. At a minimum, appointing units should provide the information on the list below in an RIF proposal: Offer letter and hiring Memorandum of Understanding (MOU); Funding history; Status of all current sources of funds; Role (PI or Co-PI) on active grants, term of award and funding commitment; Role (PI or Co-PI), funding level and probability of success on all pending grants; and Other known pending grants with support for research faculty member. 28
