There are about more than 500 academic staffs and Academic support staff. All Human Resources management functions are carried out by the University in terms of University Establishments code, University Grants commission circulars, circular letters and other directives. The University council is assigned powers to make decisions in respect of Human resource management functions of the respective University by the Universities Act No.16 of 1978. The Academic Establishments division of the University of Jaffna is responsible to implement Human resource management decisions taken by the University Council. The Senior Assistant Register of the Academic Establishments division is the responsible officer for the implementation of Human Resources Management activities of academic and academic support staff under the direction of the Vice-Chancellor. In order to speed up the human resource management activities of the Establishments division, it is necessary to set up a Human Resource Management Information system. It will strengthen the activities of human resources by reducing manual works and times. Therefore, these modules have been developed to strengthen the human resource activities of the academic Establishments division by improving its efficiency. For the purpose, Unified Modeling Language has been used in the requirement analysis and design phase of the development. Unified Modeling Language diagrams have also been drawn to explain the system requirements. In addition, Model View Controller architecture and PHP server side scripting language have been used to develop the system. MySQL has been used to handle the database and XAMMP server has been used in the system development.
