Division of Human Resources

HR Toolbox

In Human Resources, our job is to support the needs of our university employees. Forms, documentation and other communication are essential to ensuring that you have access to the wealth of resources you need to achieve success.

The table below compiles forms, documents, guides and other useful information related to your role in the university, or the type of support that you need. The toolbox serves as a one-stop-shop, and divides the resources that you need under six distinct categories of information: benefits, employee performance, hiring, international support, policies and procedures, and training and professional development.
