Overview
Common Human Resources System (CHRS) is a single Human Resources data management system for all 23 campuses in the CSU, plus the Chancellor’s Office. CHRS is a multi-year effort to upgrade the entire CSU to the latest version of PeopleSoft HCM (9.2), with modifications included to ensure the software meets CSU business needs.
The project will transform Human Resources business processes and practices and consolidate campus database instances into a single, centrally managed system. In addition to providing standard business process and standardized data across the CSU, the project includes expanded services for Academic Personnel and an HR Data Warehouse.
As part of Wave 3, Sac State is partnering with the Chancellor’s Office CHRS Program Team and our own campus module teams to upgrade to the latest version of PeopleSoft (9.2) to meet our needs as well as the rest of the California State University system.
When is CHRS happening?
Campuses and Timelines - Campuses are grouped into sets called "Waves" for implementation of CHRS. Our University is in Wave 3 along with Chico State and CSU San Bernardino. Wave 1 campuses are CSU Fullerton and CSU Stanislaus. Wave 2 campuses are CSU Channel Islands and Cal Maritime. Waves 1 and 2 went live in November 2023.
Wave 3 go-live is currently targeted for March 24, 2025.
Timeline:
Campus Implementation Cycle: 
- Pre-implementation (Complete): Prepared and cleaned data for standardization
- Preview (Complete): Review the new system with data from Nov 2023 and how the 9.0 data looks in 9.2. View and test, but cannot submit any requests or corrections. Integrations are not included.
- Pass A (Begins in May, 2024): Go through 900 test scripts. Testing that the 9.0 data brought over is operating in 9.2 correctly. CSU third party integrations are included (e.g. CSU Learn).
How will this impact me?
CHRS will impact Human Resources processes and procedures for staff and faculty. The system manages data such as budgeted positions, employment, job, and personal data. Enhancing the system will change aspects of self-service, time and absence management, recruitment, benefits, temporary academic employment, and more.
