Overview

Add a new person to HRS as a Student Help employee.

Process Considerations:

warning sign Before creating any new person in HRS, you must search HRS to ensure the person is unique/new to the system. See Searching for Existing Person in HRS.
  • If a match is found in HRS, do not add the person again. You will not use this procedure document. Instead, refer to the following:
  • HRS security role required: HR Student Help Update (UW_UNV_HR_STUDENT_HELP_UPD)

  • Email addresses:
    • For a foreign-national employee, an email address of type Business Other must be entered as soon as possible so that Glacier third-party software can contact them to determine substantial presence and evaluate applicable tax treaties.
    • Any email addresses you enter and assign a "Business" type will be overwritten by the IAM interface with the email address in the institution's email system.
    • Any email addresses you enter and assign either a "Student" or "Student Other" type will be overwritten by a HRS nightly process of data coming in from the institutions' SIS.

  • Phone numbers: Preferred phone is defined as the primary phone number at which the employee wishes to be contacted for business purposes.  Only phone types of "Business" and "Business Other" should be marked Preferred.

Search for Existing Person in HRS

Before creating any new person in HRS, you must search HRS to ensure the person is unique/new to the system. Follow all steps in Searching for Existing Person in HRS.

NOTE: If an Empl ID was found when searching for matching persons with existing HRS data, do not use this page. Instead, follow the steps at Modifying Person Data in HRS, Rehiring a Student Help Employee in HRS, or Adding an Employment Instance (Student Help) in HRS.

If an existing Empl ID was found only in Legacy/EPM, or if no existing Empl ID was found at all, continue with the next steps.
