| HR Announcement
I am writing to alert you in advance to a new status we will introduce on March 19, 2007 into the UChicagoJobs employment requisition process. The new status is called "Needs Department Attention." Background Departmental HR administrators change a requisition's status to "Central HR Wrap Up" so UHRM can add the selected applicant to the payroll. However, we can only do this when all information required from the departmental HR administrator has been entered by the department administrator and has been entered correctly. Many requisitions sent to "Central HR Wrap Up" do not contain all needed and correct departmental information. This generates a time-consuming volley of voicemails and email messages between UHRM and the department HR administrator concerning steps the departmental HR administrator needs to take before we can proceed. During this time, the requisition in question remains in "Central HR Wrap Up" status. New Status Effective March 19, 2007, we will change the status of any requisition sent to "Central HR Wrap Up" to "Needs Department Attention" if any needed information is missing or incorrect. We will simultaneously send the departmental HR administrator an email alert. We will specify the information that the department needs to add or correct in the Notes tab of the requisition itself. After the information is entered and/or corrected, the department administrator can send the requisition back to "Central HR Wrap Up." We are not asking department administrators to take any new steps or to enter any new information beyond what is already expected. This new status is a process change, intended to enhance workflow and to decrease time lost by leaving and responding to voicemails and emails. A checklist of steps departmental administrators need to take before sending requisitions to "Central HR Wrap Up" is below. Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments.
