Since the May 13 launch of the Common Human Resources System (CHRS) accessed via MyHR, our campus has been learning and adapting to new processes and workflows. As you continue to familiarize yourself with the system, we recognize questions may still arise. Whether you're entering or approving time, reporting absences, processing appointments, or simply looking for a refresher, we want to remind you that support continues to be available.
Please note that the location of some resources has recently changed. We encourage you to bookmark the updated CHRS Training page linked to here, which includes recorded training sessions, job aids, video tutorials, and other helpful resources for:
- Absence Management (reporting and approving absences)
- Time and Labor (entering, tracking, processing and approving time)
- Temporary Academic Employment (faculty and academic student appointments)
- Benefits Self Service (entering life events)
Quick Reference Guides
- Staff/MPP/Hourly/Intermittent Cheat Sheet
- Faculty/Graduate Assistant/Teaching Associates Cheat Sheet
- Student Assistant Cheat Sheet
