Manager's Toolbox
Human Resources Employment is pleased to announce a new addition to our HR website, the Employment Manager’s Toolbox. The Employment Manager’s Toolbox was created to assist helping managers and department/division business administrators by centralizing employment information such as employment laws, hiring processes, guidelines, and forms. The Employment Manager’s Toolbox has been divided into six different sections; below is a brief overview of what can be found in each of the sections.

1. AA/EEO or Affirmative Action Equal Employment Opportunity section of the website provides important information regarding the federal laws that are set in place to protect both the individuals applying for positions at UH and those already employed by the university.

2. Recruitment Process link provides detailed information and useful guidelines. This section includes information about job requisitions, getting a position posted on our job website, external advertising options, and alternative hiring options.

3. Selection Process provides you with what you need to know for the interview stage of candidate selection; everything from how to identify which candidates to interview to determining which interview method(s) may best meet the needs of your department.

4. Hiring section provides information that can help ensure that your new hire transition is smooth by providing information on the hiring process, closing a position, and necessary documentation to be completed. In this section you can also find our new I-9 manual.

5. Forms section of the Toolbox provides links to all of the necessary forms that are needed for both prospective and newly hire employees. This section also provides information and a link to completing the W-4 via PASS.

6. F.A.Q. provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions that Employment receives. Various issues are covered including internal candidates and common OJS questions as well as process questions dealing with hiring a new employee, PAR submission, and New Hire Orientation.
