Abstract

Higher education institutions have many unique employment caveats, which create difficulties even for the best HRIS applications. While most public, non-profit and even private organizations have straightforward employment guidelines, which is not the case with higher education institutions. Unlike a private corporation, a higher education institution will usually have several different missions and roles requiring a mix of different employees when compared to other organizations. Higher education institutions can be involved not only with instruction of students, but also research activities, public service and extension services. This does not include higher education institutions with major athletic programs and specialized contracts for coaches paid from the non-profit organization’s account (boosters). The HRIS software of an institution will need to be flexible enough to capture contractual information since these are both personnel documents as well as official documents.
