ALVSCE HR Workflow and Timelines

To support supervisors, faculty, and staff through key HR processes, we’ve created clear step-by-step timelines and guidance documents. Each outlines what to expect, estimated timeframes, and responsibilities at each stage. Please note that timelines are approximate and may shift depending on circumstances, collaboration with university partners, and the need for thorough review.

These resources are designed to increase transparency, set clear expectations, and ensure that every step of the process is handled accurately and efficiently.

If you have any questions, concerns, or revisions to suggest, please reach out to HR-ALVSCE@arizona.edu. The HR team will also review and update these documents on a quarterly basis to ensure they remain current.
