Adding Disability and Veterans Information in HRS

Overview

This procedure will walk you through the steps of entering the disability and/or veteran status information that is obtained from the Employee Self-Identification Form. This data is used for reporting to the State of Wisconsin and the Federal Government.

Process Considerations:

  • Please note that the UW-Madison interface from JEMS will NOT update these fields.  They will be entered directly into HRS on the Regional, Disabilities and Maintain Military Discharge Date pages.
  • If the person is hired through TAM and the individual discloses their disability status, the information will automatically populate if:
    • The employee is a new hire
    • If the employee already exists in HRS, TAM data will NOT overwrite HR (disability) data.
    • If no HR disability data exists for the employee, then TAM will populate the disability fields.
    • If the person is not hired through TAM, the HR administrator will enter in this information from page 2 on the UW W4 packet.

  2. If the employee is a disabled veteran, navigate to the Disabilities page under the Veteran section to select this status (see Disability Status section below for further details).
