The Human Resource Management System (HRMS) is a software solution specifically designed to meet the human resource management needs of all public schools in North Carolina.
It partially integrates with vendor-supplied payroll systems in use by LEAs (Local Education Agency), reducing the need for duplicate data entry and maintenance.
In the 1990s several HR Directors requested to partner with DPI to design an electronic process to manage HR data. At the time, there was no software that met the need and HRMS was built. HRMS was regularly updated based on feedback from the HRMS Steering Committee, who met bi-annually to review HR Director requests, new legislation, etc. to determine how to prioritize enhancements.
Between 1999 and 2001, NC's governor wanted a statewide application system. It was built in-house to work with HRMS. At this time HRMS was coverted from a COBOL system to a Windows platform, which went live around late 2002. This allowed NC to standardize several reports (SS-200, SS-300, Teacher Turnover) and provide software at a nominal cost for LEAs to manage HR data and still have some flexibility within HRMS to meet their various processing needs.
