Formed in 2011, HR Transaction Services (HRTS) is a “one stop shop” and center of expertise for PeopleSoft transactions, verifying data, making corrections, and coordinating processing and system improvements. We strive to be accurate, reliable advisors who are a responsive and accommodating extension of your team. Located at 3160 Porter Drive, HRTS has implemented a continuous improvement program, with ongoing measurement of both timeliness and accuracy, to ensure high quality and reliability of Stanford’s HR data. Access the HR Management System for job aids, to create or maintain job or position records and transaction forms.
What We Do
For Faculty, Academic Staff, Non-Academic Staff, Student, and Contingent Employees, HRTS can complete (initiate, approve, and load) all these types of transactions on your behalf:
| New Hires/Rehires | Terminations | Job Changes | Taleo Job Postings |
| Bonus/Supplemental Payments | Off-Cycle Check Requests | Job Record Releases | Background Checks |
| Transfers in/Transfers Out | Salary Changes | Demographic Updates | Global Employees |
| Non-Employee Affiliates | Temp/Casual Hires | Student Hires | Batches on Spreadsheets |
| Leaves of Absence | FTE Changes | Sabbaticals | Promotions |
In addition, use the New Hire Privacy Portal to collect the birth date and social security number for new hires. No need to wait for the completed I-9 or phone call from future hires to collect this protected data prior to processing the hire into PeopleSoft.
