Sound Familiar?
Challenges you might be facing
Contract renewals for adjunct and visiting faculty are tracked informally — renewals get missed, creating staffing gaps at semester start
Leave policies differ significantly between tenured faculty (sabbatical eligible), administrative staff (standard PTO), and hourly student workers
Small HR budgets mean educational institutions are priced out of enterprise HR platforms — and the free tools aren't robust enough
Performance evaluation cycles don't align with academic semesters — annual reviews happen mid-semester, disrupting teaching schedules
Tracking grant-funded positions (which employees are paid by which grant, for how long) is done manually in spreadsheets
Professional development and continuing education credit tracking for faculty lacks structure and accountability
The FriendHRM Advantage
How we solve this for you
Fixed-Term Contract Management
Track contract start dates, end dates, and renewal windows for adjunct faculty, visiting professors, and temporary staff. Automated renewal reminders 90 and 60 days before expiry.
Flexible Leave Policies per Role
Configure entirely different PTO structures for faculty (sabbatical, research leave), administrative staff (annual/sick), and student workers (hourly/no accrual).
Education-Friendly Pricing
Per-employee pricing with education sector discounts. No license minimums, no multi-year commitments. Scale up for fall enrollment, scale down for summer.
Academic Calendar Integration
Holiday schedules and break periods tied to your academic year, not the calendar year. Support for semester-based and trimester-based calendars.
LMS for Professional Development
Track mandatory professional development hours, continuing education credits, and teaching certifications. Faculty can self-enroll in approved courses.
Grant & Funding Source Tracking
Tag employees to specific grants or funding sources. Track how many FTE-equivalents each grant supports, with expiry alerts when grant periods end.
"Managing 40 adjunct contracts each semester was chaos. Now we get automated renewal reminders, and faculty can self-complete onboarding before their first class. It's transformed our start-of-semester workflow."
