Today’s Goal
• Today’s goal is to help you to understand
what HRMS is, and how to:
 initiate
 follow
 verify
changes in an instructional employee’s
record in the Human Resources
component of Wolverine Access (HRMS).
3
What is HRMS?
 HRMS is the abbreviation for the M-Pathways Human
Resource Management System
 Accessible through Wolverine Access, it is often simply
referred to as Wolverine Access, WA, or “the system”
 It is used for both Academic and Non-Academic
appointments.

Instructional Appointment Flowchart
For Appointment Request Forms (new hire paperwork) and Wolverine Access Submittal Forms/PAR
and Workflow/PAR (appointment changes)
Path of instructional appointments and changes
All instructional appointments and appointment changes for LSA units must be routed through Divisional Affairs via Deb Erskine or Tom
Hart. Appointment changes are usually initiated by the department. Some appointments and/or changes require prior approval by the LSA
EC and possibly a Regents Communication. Academic personnel changes are effective only after HRRIS/Service Center receives the signed
paperwork from the College and data-enters the change on Wolverine Access, or until the workflow receives final approval.

PLEASE REMEMBER to consider Deb and Tom your liaison to HRRIS/Service Center and Academic Human Resources for LSA instructional
appointments. Our goal is to process all instructional appointments through to HRRIS/Service Center within 48 working hours of receipt in
the Dean’s Office. Peak times at the beginning of the term or highly complex problems may extend that turnaround time.

Remember:
•
The Wolverine Access submittal process is a “dead” process. You currently use
the submittal screens on Wolverine Access to create and print a paper submittal
form (pending rollout of PAR – Personnel Action Request).
•
The Wolverine Access workflow process and GSA eRecruit are live processes.
Workflow changes flow to the system immediately after final approval. GSA
eRecruit appointments flow quickly, but require a final step by the GSA. (After
rollout of PAR, workflow will be accessed via PAR.)
What actions should units initiate via the HRMS system?
 New hires. (GSA new hires are unique in that they go through the GSA eRecruit
process.)
 Additional appointments (now submittal, to be via PAR)
 Appointment changes, including:
 Effort changes: now via submittal (to be via PAR) – requires job data and dbe
change;
 Department Budget Earnings (DBE) changes: e.g., short code changes and split
funding via the workflow process/PAR;
 Additional pay on active appointments (pay that does not generate effort) via the
workflow process/PAR. Exception: Research fellows on a training grant or
sponsored from an outside source with 0% effort require submittal.
 Terminations via workflow except for GSA terminations.

The Flow of an Academic HR change
Currently, the department creates and prints the
submittal form or initiates workflow and secures the
appropriate departmental signatures or approvals.
Submittals and workflow will soon be via PAR.
The submittal or workflow is sent or routed to Divisional
Affairs to be checked and approved. If needed, Divisional
Affairs asks the department to make corrections.
After approval, Divisional Affairs sends/routes the
submittal to HRRIS/Service Center. Workflow flows
directly to system after final approval.
If paper submittal, HRRIS/Service Center data-enters the
information into HRMS.
Department verifies appointment accuracy in Wolverine
Access.
Department regularly checks Gross Pay Register to
confirm correct pay.

When will I see my new appointment or change on the system?
 Generally 5-7 business days AFTER receipt of the appointment material
to Divisional Affairs (Deb or Tom).
 Workflow changes occur in real time, once all approvals are granted.
 GSA eRecruit hires require student’s action to input or verify personal
information following final approvals.
 Exceptions to “normal circumstances” take longer:
 Unusual appointments or unusual appointment changes.
 Errors in paperwork or missing forms.
 The busiest times of the year (July, September and January; the
beginning of each term).
 REMEMBER: New appointments always take longer than most changes
to existing appointments.
17
An Error with Appointment or Pay?
First determine: Is the appointment correct in HRMS?
YES? If the
appointment is
correct in HRMS:
Contact the Payroll
Office to see why the
appointment didn’t
pay as you expected.
Contact Deb or Tom
if that doesn’t resolve
the issue.
NO? If the appointment is not correct in
HRMS:
Check your file copy of the appointment
paperwork or change submittal. Is it
correct?
If the submittal was
incorrectly data entered
into HRMS, contact
Divisional Affairs (Deb
or Tom). Please do NOT
contact HRRIS.
Submittal
incorrect? New
submittal
needed.
18
Faculty Summer Appointments
 Reasons for summer pay: Active effort - ninths for teaching
or research
 The summer empl record is the mechanism for appointing
and compensating instructional, U-Year faculty during the
summer.
 Note these restrictions on summer pay:
 A maximum of 2/9ths salary is allowed in one summer on
general funds.
 Sponsored funds may not be charged in the month of
May as summer salary.
 See http://spg.umich.edu/pdf/201.04.pdf
 See LSA Fin website: Term III Policy
19
Summer Appointments – The Process
 Department creates a new, summer empl record#, if one doesn’t
already exist.
 Points to remember when creating a U-Year summer empl record:
 Mirror appointment period and begin and end dates (if applicable)
of original appointment.
 Determine monthly dollars/effort by dividing original salary by 9
(U-YR) or 8 (U-YRT) or 4 (Term) to determine maximum monthly
salary allowed.
 Term IIIA submittals: Submit by May 1, with a copy of the offer letter.
 Term IIIB submittals: Submit by July 1, with a copy of the offer letter.
20
Supplemental Pay to Instructional Staff
Empl Status=Active, Leave With Pay,
or work break
Work must be less than 32 hours and no more
than 2 weeks in duration.
 Must pay supplemental pay via Additional Pay
Workflow Process/PAR
 ….UNLESS a check is required for a
presentation, in which case the Peoplepay
Exception Payment form should be used.

Empl Status= Unpaid leave or if all
empl records are terminated
Work must be less than 32 hours and no
more than 2 weeks in duration.
 Pay via Peoplepay, using Peoplepay tool to
determine appropriate form.

ALL Peoplepay forms paid by LSA departments must be submitted to
the Dean’s Office for approval.
• Peoplepay to instructional employees, or for instruction related
services (guest speakers, honoraria) are approved by Tom Hart.
• Peoplepay for non-instructional people or non-instructional services
are approved by your Non-Academic HR contact in the Dean’s Office.
• When in doubt of who should approve your Peoplepay form, send it to
Tom Hart to be directed as necessary.
21
Faculty Leaves: A Four Step Process
Department submits leave request: contact person Mandy Harrison.
(Faculty life cycle portal)
LSA Executive Committee approves leave, and approval notification is
sent.
Dean’s Office (Tom) creates submittal/PAR. (1) If leave calls for a pay change, Tom
sends submittal to unit for approval before sending to HRRIS/Service Center. (2) If
leave does not involve a pay change, Tom sends submittal to HRRIS/Service Center
directly and sends the department a copy. All leave submittals will change leave pay
shortcode to class 21000 – scholarship/research.
HRRIS/Service Center adds leave to HR system.
22
When Should I Expect Approved Leaves to
Appear on Wolverine Access?
Leaves that CHANGE or STOP
pay should be on Wolverine
Access by the following dates:
 By July 15 for fall leaves.
 By January 15 for winter
leaves.
Leaves that do NOT stop or
change pay :
 Submittal/PAR to
HRRIS/Service Center may be
delayed until after the beginning
of the term – especially for fall
term, in order not to conflict
with the salary program.
 BUT can be processed anytime
after LSA approval, if requested,
to accommodate faculty
member’s benefits needs.
Best Practice for departments: verify leave in Wolverine Access according
to above timeline.
23
Retirements for Tenure Track Faculty
 The Retirement Agreement
 The result of confidential conversations between the
Associate Dean and the faculty member.
 The department receives a copy of the agreement after faculty
member signs.
 The Retirement Memoir - the request for the emeritus title
 Department submits draft memoir pdf and HR termination
workflow/PAR to Deb Erskine approximately 60 days prior to
retirement date. Timely submission of memoir to all relevant
offices ensures timely conferral of emeritus status.
 Reminders and guidelines are sent each term from Dean’s
Office to all units. See handout for important details.
 Emeritus status is granted by the Regents
24
Resignations/Terminations
 Non-reappointments, retirements, resignations, and deaths all
require termination workflow/PAR, except for GSAs who are
terminated via submittal when they graduate or otherwise leave
UM.
 Prior to submitting termination workflow/PAR, send a pdf letter
of resignation and a pdf as-needed effort certification to Deb
Erskine.
 End date of appointment = end date of benefits
 Pay ends with June 30 check (for UYear appointments).
 Please make sure that employee effort certifies. (Refer to CRO
and LSA Research web pages for instructions and details.)
