Historical Note:

In 1978, the UM-System Office of Personnel Services (created in 1963) and Office of Employee Relations (created in 1967) were combined. The administrative office created by this combination was initially called Personnel Services and Employee Relations. Within a year, however, its name was changed to Office of Personnel Services and Staff Relations. 1983 saw this UM-System Office change its title once more, to Human Resource Services. The responsibilities of the Office of Human Resource Services include wage and salary schedule administration, maintenance of the University's job classification system, oversight of employee training and development, maintenance of the UM-System personnel and payroll information systems, and resolution of employee relations and affirmative action concerns.
