Academic Appointment Processing in the Human Resources Management System (Wolverine Access HRMS)

1. Academic Appointment Processing in the Human Resources Management System(Wolverine Access HRMS) LSA Divisional Affairs May 22, 2014

2. Divisional Affairs What are the Pieces to the Puzzle?

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

4. 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 both Academic and Non-Academic appointments.

5. Instructional Appointment FlowchartFor Appointment Request Forms (new hire paperwork) and Wolverine Access Submittal Forms/PAR and Workflow/PAR (appointment changes) Path of instructional appointments and changes All instructional appointments and appointment changes for LSA units must be routed through Divisional Affairs via Deb Erskine or Tom Hart. Appointment changes are 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/Service Center receives the signed paperwork from the College and data-enters the change on Wolverine Access, or until the workflow receives final approval. Heavy arrow = flow of paperwork, workflow/PAR, and GSA eRecruit Deb Faculty (Lecturers and professors), visitors and research appointments All LSA Departments Questions Questions HRRIS/Service Center (Records) Puts appt or change on line and makes it effective, or worklow flows onto systerm. Deb/Tom are liaison to HRRIS/Service Center for LSA instructional appointments. Tom GSI/GSRA appointments, Peoplepay payments Questions Questions PLEASE REMEMBER to consider Deb and Tom your liaison to HRRIS/Service Center and Academic Human Resources for LSA instructional appointments. Our goal is to process all instructional appointments through to HRRIS/Service Center 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.

6. Remember: • The Wolverine Access submittal process is a “dead” process. You currently use the submittal screens on Wolverine Access to create and print a paper submittal form(pending rollout of PAR – Personnel Action Request). • The Wolverine Access workflowprocess and GSA eRecruit are live processes. Workflow changes flow to the system immediately after final approval. GSA eRecruit appointments flow quickly, but require a final step by the GSA. (After rollout of PAR, workflow will be accessed via PAR.) What actions should units initiate via the HRMS system? • New hires. (GSA new hires are unique in that they go through the GSA eRecruit process.) • Additional appointments (now submittal, to be via PAR) • Appointment changes, including: • Effort changes: now via submittal (to be via PAR) – requires job data and dbe change; • Department Budget Earnings (DBE) changes: e.g., short code changes and split funding via the workflow process/PAR; • Additional pay on active appointments (pay that does not generate effort) via the workflow process/PAR.Exception: Research fellows on a training grant or sponsored from an outside source with 0% effort require submittal. • Terminations via workflowexceptfor GSA terminations.

8. The Flow of an Academic HR change • Department regularly checks Gross Pay Register to confirm correct pay.

9. New Hire Academic HR Paperwork Faculty, Lecturers, Researchers and Visitors GSA (GSI, GSSA, GSRA) • Appointment Request Form (Form 36400) • Approved Pool Report (tenure track) See: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/facstaff/academicaffairs/policiesandprocedures/hiringappointments/newfacultyappointments • Offer Letter • Faculty Personnel Record (Form 30002) • Supplemental Appointment Information (Form 36100) • Page 3 must be completed • I-9 • Background check Appointed via GSA eRecruit, so paperwork is minimal, as follows: • Fraction Calculation Form (Form 30010) for GSI, GSSA only (not needed for GSRA) • I-9 All forms must be most recent version. Download current version from HRRIS website (http://hr.umich.edu/hrris/forms/allforms.html) Do NOT include Payroll forms (e.g. W-4, Direct Deposit Request). Selection is made by employee online after appointment is added. See Payroll link: http://finops.umich.edu/payroll/forms#t74 SS# required onlyupon hire, on Appointment Request form, and not thereafter on any HR forms. If Empl ID is known, SS# should NOT be provided.

10. Reappointments/Renewals Assistant Professors GSA (GSI, GSSA, GSRA) • Reappointed following successful third-year review. • Require Wolverine Access submittal/PAR, prepared by department to change end date. • Must be treated as new hire if not currently active or on work break in ANY regular empl record. HRRIS/Service Center allows 8 months of work break (usually can be thought of as two terms, but gets tricky in spring/summer due to half-term appts). • GSAs must be reappointed term-by-term (or by the half-term for spring/summer). • Two options for reappointment process: Wolverine Access submittal or GSA reappointment spreadsheet. • Expected dates for Fall 2014 spreadsheet: • Round 1 to unit on about July 15. • Round 1 due to LSA (Tom) from unit on about July 22. • Round 2 to unit on about August 3. • Round 2 due to LSA (Tom) from unit on about August 9. Senior Lecturers, Collegiate or Endowed Professors, Thurnau Professors • 5-year terms. • LSA Executive Committee approval required for (re)appointment. • Require Wolverine Access submittal, prepared by department. Distinguished University Professor • An ongoing title, once awarded. • Established by Rackham and Office of Budget and Planning (not LSA).

The “After” section displays the new dates and short code for the reappointment.

17. When will I see my new appointment or change on the system? • Generally 5-7 business days AFTER receipt of the appointment material to Divisional Affairs (Deb or Tom). • Workflow changes occur in real time, once all approvals are granted. • GSA eRecruit hires require student’s action toinput or verify personal information following final approvals. • Exceptions to “normal circumstances” take longer: • Unusual appointments or unusual appointment changes. • Errors in paperwork or missing forms. • The busiest times of the year (July, September and January; the beginning of each term). • REMEMBER: New appointments always take longer than most changes to existing appointments.

18. An Error with Appointment or Pay?

19. Faculty Summer Appointments • Reasons for summer pay: Active effort - ninths for teaching or research • 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 2/9ths salary is allowed in one summer on general funds. • Sponsored funds may not be charged in the month of May as summer salary. • See http://spg.umich.edu/pdf/201.04.pdf • See LSA Fin website: Term III Policy

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, with a copy of the offer letter. • Term IIIB submittals: Submit by July 1, with a copy of the offer letter.

21. Supplemental Pay to Instructional Staff Empl Status=Active, Leave With Pay, or work break Empl Status= Unpaid leave or if all emplrecords are terminated • Work must be less than 32 hours and no more than 2 weeks in duration. • Must pay supplemental pay via Additional Pay Workflow Process/PAR • ….UNLESS a check is required for a presentation, in which case the Peoplepay Exception Payment form should be used. • Work must be less than 32 hours and no more than 2 weeks in duration. • Pay via Peoplepay, using Peoplepay tool to determine appropriate form. • ALLPeoplepay 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 your Non-Academic HR contact in the Dean’s Office. • When in doubt of who should approve your Peoplepayform, send it to Tom Hart to be directed as necessary.

22. Faculty Leaves: A Four Step Process

23. When Should I Expect Approved Leaves to Appear on Wolverine Access? Leaves that CHANGE or STOP pay should be on Wolverine Access by the following dates: Leaves that do NOT stop or change pay : • By July 15 for fall leaves. • By January 15 for winter leaves. • Submittal/PAR to HRRIS/Service Center may be delayed until after the beginning of the term – especially for fall term, in order not to conflict with the salary program. • BUT can be processed anytime after LSA approval, if requested, to accommodate faculty member’s benefits needs. Best Practice for departments: verify leave in Wolverine Access according to above timeline.

24. Retirements for Tenure Track Faculty • The Retirement Agreement • The result of confidential conversations between the Associate Dean and the faculty member. • The department receives a copy of the agreement after faculty member signs. • The Retirement Memoir - the request for the emeritus title • Department submits draft memoir pdf and HR termination workflow/PAR to Deb Erskine approximately 60 days prior to retirement date. Timely submission of memoir to all relevant offices ensures timely conferral of emeritus status. • Reminders and guidelines are sent each term from Dean’s Office to all units. See handout for important details. • Emeritus status is granted by the Regents

25. Resignations/Terminations • Non-reappointments, retirements, resignations, and deaths all require termination workflow/PAR, except for GSAs who are terminated via submittal when they graduate or otherwise leave UM. • Prior to submitting termination workflow/PAR, send a pdf letter of resignation and a pdf as-needed effort certification to Deb Erskine. • End date of appointment = end date of benefits • 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.)
