HR Liaison Training
HR Liaison Training Requirements – HR Liaisons are required to complete up to 20 workshop hours of training on applicable laws, rules, regulations and procedures for human resource and payroll-related functions, depending on their designated roles for their department, as well as any new training required to meet compliance initiatives.
Newly designated HR liaisons have 9 months to complete the training; workshops are scheduled quarterly. HR Liaisons timely completing their designated training are recognized upon completion with a framed Certificate of Completion and a notification of completion to their Department Head. HR Liaisons that do not timely complete the training will be placed in a temporary suspension status, their user access will be removed for all assigned online systems, and they will be removed from the HR Liaison Network.
To avoid the suspended status, the department head may submit a one-time only written request to the HR Liaison Administrator for a six-month training extension. Justification, why the HR liaison could not meet the original training deadline and needs the extended timeframe, should be included in the request.
If the HR liaison has already been placed in the suspended status, the HR liaison may be granted a one-time reinstatement for the ADLOC(s) that the department head designates with a new HR Liaison Designation Form.
