New human resources system launches

HRS, the state-of-the-art human resource system, launched this week, now managing a more than $2 billion annual payroll for UW System employees and improving how data about employees are entered, as well as how employees sign up for benefits, account for their time and leave, and view work records.

“This incredible effort couldn’t have happened without the strong operational and administrative support from our team at UW–Madison,” says Darrell Bazzell, vice chancellor for administration. “UW–Madison employees for years to come are indebted to them for their hard work.”

UW–Madison staff have been trained to handle questions about the new system. The UW System also has a service center support team available to answer questions and troubleshoot problems employees may encounter. Employees are encouraged to visit online for contact information and details about support services.

The support team is available at 890-1501 Monday-Friday from 6 a.m.-7 p.m., via email, through an online form or live chat feature.
