State HRIS Analyst III

Class Concept

Positions in this class are part of a team of analysts who perform technical and analytical work in the maintenance and support of an enterprise Human Resources Information System (HRIS). Positions serve as senior analysts and provide advanced system functional design, configuration, and support to meet the State's business requirements and Human Resource policies, solve complex production support issues, and implement system enhancements and break fixes of moderate to high complexity. These roles gather business requirements, design solutions, and configure the system to meet the State's functional requirements for HR operations. Positions provide expert level design, configuration, and support for system modules such as Benefits, Time, Organizational Management, Personnel Administration, Employee Self Service, or Manager Self Service. New functionality added or corrections to existing system configuration require deep analytical work and the ability to understand and make modifications to the complex branches of logic within the configuration using proprietary functions and language commands. These roles manage projects related to a specific system module by coordinating work efforts of other functional analysts, developers, and security analysts to ensure timely and successful project completion. Positions work closely with lower-level analysts and guide them in implementing business requirements and testing the system to match those requirements. Under the direction of a State HRIS Manager, these roles may provide targeted system module training to lower-level analysts.
