Over the Labor Day weekend, the HR-Payroll Project team and HR staff implemented the HR SAP module. What this means is that on September 2, 2003, the HR department stopped using the Cyborg information system and began using SAP for all HR transactions. This transition to SAP also means several improvements in services to the MIT community.

HR-Payroll Service Center
A new service that accompanies the implementation of the SAP HR module is the opening of the HR-Payroll Service Center. The Center represents an important step towards integrating HR and Payroll. Located in room E19-429, the Center is staffed by employees from both HR and Payroll who are responsible for timely and accurate data entry and processing of all HR employment transactions. Each HR-Pay Rep is assigned to specific customer areas and they have been trained to handle every type of transaction. The HR-Pay Reps will also serve as liaisons between the HR-Payroll Service Center and HR areas and Payroll.

Updated HR Forms
We've also improved how employment transaction information reaches the HR-Payroll Service Center. Updated Appointment Forms for academic and non-academic employees are now available online. In order to reach our goal of increased speed, accuracy, and effectiveness in processing employment transactions, it is imperative that administrators use the updated forms beginning September 2.

If you have questions about the updated HR forms, please contact the HR-Payroll Service Center or your Human Resources Officer. Administrators who were unable to attend the two information sessions in August about the new forms can attend a make-up session on September 16 in 20 Chimneys in the Student Center from 10 am to noon.

Position Numbers
During the first week of September, the HR-Payroll Service Center will distribute position reports electronically and in hard copy to administrators in the HR Contact Database. The position reports will provide the name, title, and position number for each employee in an administrators' area. This information is necessary to complete some of the employment transaction forms that require a position number. In mid-September, administrators will be able to run their own standard position reports from the Data Warehouse.
