Hiring Managers and supervisors have a responsibility to submit timely requests to their college/division HR offices. HR related activities (e.g. salary increases, creation of new positions, etc.) have a central office at the university level that works with the college/divisional HR offices to finalize and approve changes involving current and future direct reports.

Employees and the employer (both the supervisor and the college or division) are subject to strict employment laws and violation of local, state and federal employment laws can result in fines, disciplinary action and even termination of employment (e.g. retroactive HR actions are among the most offensive compliance violations).

To ensure timely review and approval occurs in accordance with legal requirements, please use the following tool to help identify the soonest possible effective date for the following HR activities:

• New Position
• Waivers
• Salary Adjustment
• Reclassification/Level Change
• Update Position Description (no salary change)

Note: This tool is specific to University HR processing timelines. College/division HR processes will have a lead time before University HR is involved with the process.
