FR: Heather Cain, Human Resources Manager, Payroll and Benefits

We are pleased to announce that the Benefits Module in the Common Human Resources System (CHRS) is now live!
This new module offers enhanced functionality and improved self-service capabilities for benefit-eligible employees. Through CHRS, employees can now:

• View their benefits summary and current coverage information
• Complete new benefit enrollments
• Submit qualifying life event changes (such as marriage, birth/adoption, loss of external coverage, and other eligible life events)
• Submit Open Enrollment transactions during the annual Open Enrollment period this fall

To help you get started, we encourage all campus users to visit the CHRS Training Page, which includes recorded training sessions, job aids, step-by-step guides, and video tutorials covering CHRS self-service features.
