This Toolkit is designed for your convenience as a busy manager. It consolidates HR procedural information and the HR manager forms you need as you work with faculty and staff at Columbia.

New: Human Resources Manual

This manual is designed to assist staff in the schools and departments who administer HR policies and processes.

The manual focuses on core HR functions for those Columbia University personnel holding non-academic positions: officers of administration and support staff at all CU locations that are served by Columbia University Human Resources.

Information regarding HR management for academic positions — officers of instruction, officers of research, and student officers — can be found in the Faculty Handbook.

The Transaction Information Guide (TIG) is the home of tutorials for frequent transactions, developed based on your feedback and University policy.

We encourage you to let us know how we can make the Toolkit even more useful. You are also welcome to contact Human Resources if you have a question about policy or procedure.
