HR eRequest
The Department of Human Resources has developed the HR eRequest process in the Georgetown Management System (GMS) in order to streamline and improve human resources processes for administrative employees. Managers and department administrators (DAs), with the support of Human Resources and Finance staff members, can initiate, monitor and complete HR staffing requests using a single access point in GMS.
Please note that the HR eRequest process does not currently include faculty and student worker transactions. These are handled through separate processes. Please refer to your campus page for further information.
How It Works
GMS Workflow and Tracking
Once submitted, a staffing request will route through a series of review steps as outlined with responsibilities below. Initiators can track their submissions using the new My HR Requests report.
Initiating a Request
Managers and DAs can use the HR eRequest form in GMS to submit a wide range of requests for staff and AAP employees and positions using only a position description. The HR eRequest process eliminates the need for managers to complete any other forms.
It is important for initiators to familiarize themselves with the types of staffing requests supported by this process. The eight staffing request types and their definitions are listed below with links to the HR Policy Manual for further detail where appropriate.
Create Position
Request for a new position to perform duties that cannot be performed by the existing employees/positions in a department..
