Meet the Teams

Employee Services supports core operational and administrative functions for staff and faculty throughout their time at SJSU with essential employment services and resources. Our teams provide guidance and support across recruitment and hiring, benefits, payroll, classification and compensation, leave administration, employee records and other employment processes.

Faculty Services, in partnership with the Division of Academic Affairs, supports administrative and operational processes for faculty and academic student employees in recruitment, appointments, evaluations such as retention, tenure and promotion (RTP) and other personnel actions while ensuring compliance with bargaining agreements and university and CSU policies.

Together, these two distinct departments of the Division of People and Culture oversee and manage core administrative and operational processes that support all faculty and staff employment experiences at San José State University.
