After adopting the State Government’s Integrated Human Resource Management System (IHRMS), Punjabi University has sped up service book automation for regular teaching and non-teaching staff. Registrar Manjit Singh Nijjar today said he has given approval to officials concerned for the collection and registration of data of non-teaching employees while the same process regarding teaching employees of the university was already underway.

The university plans to implement an online service book record of the employees, both teaching and non-teaching faculty, which will be linked to leave management, salary and the PF fund systems. The implementation was expected to make it easy for the establishment branch to complete its various tasks easily.

Moreover, the availability of information of the employees online and accessible though login and password will reduce the number of inquiries at the branch as they will be able to view their information through already given login passwords.

The service book record of the employees will carry all important information, including joining dates, current post, residential address, retirement, transfers, awards and other matters concerning their employment at the university during and after their employment period.

Officials said the process of collecting data and its verification will be followed by registration of their information on the portal. The process will be carried out for the contractual staff in future.

“Moreover, when it is established, it will be used to provide no objection certificates (NOC) to the employees for foreign trips and other matters as well. This will improve the university’s ranking in the NAAC and other grading systems during accreditation,” an official said.

Dr Nijjar said the university aims at completion of three projects namely service book automation of teaching employees, non-teaching employees and online file tracking system, at the earliest to make university functioning easy and transparent.
