Project LINK reached another milestone last week with its launch of the Human Resources/Payroll Project. The “kick off” event, held Thursday, Feb. 10 in the theater of the Student Union Building, included several guest speakers and an informational session.
The Human Resources/Payroll Project is the fourth implementation of Project LINK. Although currently in implementation stages, the HR/Payroll Project will affect every UNM employee upon its completion in January 2007.
The scope of the HR/Payroll Project includes reorganizing many of the Human Resources and Payroll processes. Overall, it will eliminate unnecessary paperwork and create business processes that more efficiently utilize staff. In addition, UNM employees will have round-the-clock access to their current annual leave and sick leave. In the months approaching its completion date, it will also include a full-scale training for UNM employees.
In a broader sense, Project LINK is reengineering and redesigning the major business practices currently applied at UNM. Throughout the next two years, these processes will continue to be replaced little by little with a modern information technology management system.
Other LINK projects that are in various stages of implementation include Finance, Student/Academic and Financial Aid.
Upon completion of Project LINK in January 2007, UNM will be among the approximately 70 higher education institutions that have adopted similar modern information management technology systems.
Project LINK is headquartered at 801 University Blvd SE. For up-to-date, detailed information about Project LINK, visit http://link.unm.edu. For information on all major projects occurring at UNM, please visit www.unm.edu/waytogo.
