The following are procedural guidelines for the University of Michigan Standard Practice Guide, Human Resources Section (200 series). They are intended as a tool to guide implementation of various Standard Practice Guide Provisions, and do not create contractual rights in any faculty or staff member.

Procedures are issued by University Human Resources and may be changed from time to time as necessary. Any reference in the procedures to Human Resources Records and Information Services (HRRIS), may now be handled by HRRIS or the Shared Service Center.
