EnhanceD HR Tools

The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) - Human Resources Administration (HRA) has developed a number of HR Tools to assist agencies in administering various HR laws and policies. Recent enhancements to the HR Tools are available on the DOAS website.

As you are aware, Rules of the State Personnel Board (SPB) have the force and effect of law for covered state agencies. To enhance understanding the process for revision of SPB Rules and the impact of modifications to the rules, the following tools are available:

• Flow chart explaining the SPB Rule modification process, and
• Summary of major modifications of the Rules from 2015 to date.
