What is the Human Resources Management System (HRMS)?
The Integrated System's Human Resources modules, collectively referred to as the Human Resources Management System, allow you to process HR transactions including:
- View, enter, and update employee information
- Enter time and leave for employees
- Review faculty and staff hires and salary changes
- Approve student and faculty wage hires and salary changes
- Run applicable HR reports
There are other HR systems that are not part of the Integrated System HRMS. These systems include Jobs@UVa, I-9 Online, Lead@UVa, and Benefits@UVa. Toolkits for each of these modules will be coming soon!
The University seeks to strike a balance between open access to data and data protection by assigning Integrated System (IS) and Student Information System (SIS) Responsibilities to employees. The Responsibilities allow access to specific categories of data and the assignment process complies with the University of Virginia Administrative Data Access Policy.
Requests for Integrated System responsibilities are made by you or your supervisor and submitted via the Electronic Self-Help Access Request Process (ESHARP). To begin the IS access process, go to ESHARP. In most cases, additional responsibilities are automatically assigned with a responsibility.

- HRMS Viewers view employee information
- HRMS Faculty/Staff Reviewers review faculty and staff hires and salary changes
- HRMS Student & Faculty Wage Approvers approve student and faculty wage hires and salary changes
Conflicting Responsibilities:

- For audit Reasons an HRMS Student & Faculty Wage Approver or HRMS Faculty Approver cannot be assigned HRMS Specialist or HRMS Faculty/Staff Reviewer.
Responsibility Assignments:
- HRMS Specialist, HRMS Timekeepers, HRMS Faculty Staff Reviewers and HRMS Student & Faculty Wage Approvers will automatically be assigned the HRMS Viewer and ODS Specialist-Limited responsibilities.
