Streamlining Operations. Empowering Institutions.

The Shared Services Center (SSC) is the University System of Georgia’s hub for Human Resources and Payroll support, ensuring efficiency across all public institutions. By standardizing processes and managing compliance risks, we help institutions focus on what matters most – students.

The Shared Services Initiative supports the Chancellor’s third priority for the USG, “Be More Efficient” by identifying ways to enhance efficiency and improve college accessibility. The SSC was established to centralize and standardize key administrative functions, and the USG continues to explore opportunities to expand shared and centralized administrative services.

We proudly serve all University System of Georgia (USG) employees—faculty, adjunct instructors, researchers, staff, student workers, and graduate assistants—ensuring they receive accurate and timely compensation. Our services also extend to USG retirees and former employees. In addition, we support our institutional partners, the Shared Services Center (SSC), and the University System Office (USO), delivering expert, efficient, and cost-effective shared services that advance the USG mission.

The Shared Services Center is led by Julie Harris, Vice Chancellor of Shared Services, who provides strategic oversight and direction for the USG.
