HRIS Analyst job description

HRIS work has no BLS code of its own either. System owners, configuration analysts, and HRIS managers are counted as human resources specialists or as human resources managers, occupations of 939,700 and 224,900 jobs in 2025. The job is the platform: configuring the core HR system, managing integrations with payroll and benefits vendors, controlling security roles, running data audits, and owning the upgrade and testing cycle. BLS says management roles in this field typically require an understanding of human resources software alongside federal, state, and local employment law. The specialist median was $75,940 for May 2025 and the manager median $149,280. Nothing here is licensed, so platform experience carries the hiring decision.
