Currently in HRIS, dependents who are removed from insurance coverage (e.g., because they have exceeded the age limit or the parents are divorced) still remain shown as a dependent in the employee's profile.

Within the AZ360 Benefits widget, dependent status can be end-dated so that, once the end date has passed,  the dependent will no longer appear in the employee’s “Manage Dependent Profile” option.  

Yes, AZ360 meets ADA compliance for accessibility and is compatible with screen readers. The CGI Advantage solution that AZ360 is based on includes built-in accessibility features meant to support federal Section 508 requirements as well as the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These accessibility features are available for and may be beneficial for all users. However, they were designed specifically to address accessibility issues.

No, AZ360 HR is being configured as an enterprise-wide solution for all State of Arizona employees. This cloud-based solution uses standardized, leading edge technology and processes – with minimal specialized configurations – to maximize efficiency, enhance security and other features, and extend the solution's life for many years to come.

We expect so! If the State was simply to repackage the old way of doing things with a shinier look, it wouldn’t justify the cost or the effort. Instead, we are hoping that everyone who operates in the new system will experience a generational type of shift in value-added functionality and ease of use. It’s going to be a state-of-the-art enterprise resource planning system that is built and maintained to industry best standards and suitable for the State of Arizona’s evolving, rapidly changing 21st century workforce.

Regardless of how much or how little your agency, board, or commission works day-to-day in the HRIS application, most State of Arizona employees still need to use the system for things like electronic time entry and payroll purposes. Agency Captains play a critical role in the success of the project since they are the HRIS Modernization Project team’s primary way to communicate information about the project, assess agency readiness to operate in the new AZ360 system, and at the appropriate time, assist in scheduling employee training.

Yes, all agencies, boards and commissions will participate in determining the kinds of training their employees need to complete. The AZ360 project team recognizes that not all agencies will operate in the system the same way, and some agency employees will require more robust training depending on their needs. The project team is planning to offer a diverse selection of training, from virtual instructor-led training to simple quick reference job aids.

The HRIS modernization project will be completed in phases. The work begins with the project team using a “human centered design” approach, with end users’ wants and needs in mind. The goal is to build intuitive, easy-to-follow processes and a useful and accessible solution.

Nearly all active State of Arizona employees use HRIS to complete personnel related business, such as entering electronic timesheets, submitting leave requests, participating in performance evaluations, and completing learning and development training. Many employees and retirees also use HRIS to apply for and manage their healthcare benefits. In addition, there are about a thousand state employees whose day to day work involves managing data or other functional operations within the system.

The State’s current HRIS was originally built decades ago, using what is now outdated software and technology. It has had to rely on manual and improvised work-arounds and customizations to meet agencies’ needs.
