Bloustein Human Resources Services
The Bloustein HR staff serves as the intermediary in all personnel matters for the School with the university central human resources office (UHR). Our HR staff processes and coordinates new hires and appointments for regular faculty/staff and part-time staff including students, coadjutants, visiting scholars and hourly employees. We provide administrative support from job postings, tracking applicants in ROCS, collecting required documents to onboarding of new hires and setting them up for payroll. Contact hr_admin@ejb.rutgers.edu for any hiring or personnel inquiries or HR processing requests. All new hires must complete the onboarding process before starting any work.
For more information, please visit the Hiring Procedures and New Employees pages
Employment Verification
Rutgers University uses a third-party vendor to verify employment status and salary history for employees. For student workers verification, please contact Student Employment at 848-932-8817. The Bloustein HR staff are not authorized to release any employee information to individuals or agencies outside of Rutgers. Please read the employment verification guidelines.
Procurement Services
The primary method for the purchasing of goods or services at Rutgers is a purchase order (PO). The process to obtain a purchase order is initiated via RU Marketplace by submission of a requisition and approval of the same. GOODS CANNOT BE ORDERED AND SERVICES CANNOT BE RENDERED PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A PURCHASE ORDER. A purchase order must be issued prior to the goods being ordered or services being rendered, except for alternate methods described in the University Procurement Services Procedures Manual.
The Procurement Office is active in negotiating contracts with suppliers to gain the best prices for commonly used goods and services. Check out the University-contract suppliers site to search for various products and service providers.
Please reach out to business_admin@ejb.rutgers.edu for your procurement requisition needs. Some purchasing requests may need more processing time and require more documentation. It is highly recommended that you contact us at least two weeks or more in advance for any purchase amount of $10,000 and over, service agreements, new vendors who are not in the system and conferences with registration deadlines. For more information, visit the Procurement page.
Travel Booking and Expense Reimbursement
Rutgers University has implemented the use of Concur Travel & Expense system in booking travel reservations and reporting all business-related travel expenses. All travels must be booked book (air, train, car rental and hotel) using the Concur Travel & Expense system, or by contacting Direct Travel, the Rutgers-approved travel agency, via RutgersTravel@dt.com or phone number 1-888-818-1067. For Rutgers employees, an approved Travel Request completed via Concur is required before making any travel reservations. For non-employees, a separate travel approval form must be completed and signed before contacting Direct Travel directly to make reservations.
Travel that is not booked using Concur or Direct Travel will not be considered Rutgers-related travel and will not be reimbursed.
Expense Reimbursement
The University will reimburse individuals for reasonable, necessary, appropriate and approved travel and business expenses incurred in the performance of university business. An expense report must be submitted that adequately describes the expense as a necessary, reasonable, and appropriate business expense for the University, as further described in the University Procurement Services Procedures Manual.
Concur Travel & Expense system must be used to submit business expenses for reimbursement for all Rutgers employees. The business staff will assist non-employee travelers in getting reimbursed via RU Marketplace.
Travelers must submit their expense report within 60 days after their return to the work site. However, travelers are encouraged to submit their expense reports as soon they return from their trip. This will give the business staff enough time to process all submissions before the 60-day window allowed by the University expires. Any expense report submitted beyond the 60-day time period will require an exception request explaining why the expense report was late. The letter must be approved by Bloustein’s Associate Dean of Administration.
For full travel and expense instructions and guidelines please see the Travel and Expense Reimbursement page.
Grants and Contracts Administration
The Dean’s Office Business Services team provide grants and contracts administration assistance to Bloustein School research faculty and staff. Principal investigators (PIs) are assigned Business Managers who provide administrative support on pre and post-award processes such as research proposal budget development, creating and maintaining boilerplate documents, routing research project proposals through the university proposal system (RAPSS) and post award fiscal management encompassing close-out summaries.
Business/grant managers handle the monitoring of grant expenses, account reconciliation and provide accurate financial reports for internal informational use by PIs and Center Directors as well as periodic external reports as required by individual sponsors. Business Managers also serve as liaisons between PIs and central offices such as Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, Research Financial Services, Procurement and Accounts Payable Department and Payroll Services Department.
