5 I. EPAF Introduction – (A) EPAF DefinedAn Electronic Personnel Action Form, called EPAF, is an online form originated by the department to communicate an employment decision about an employee to the Human Resources & Payroll. All employment decisions require the attention of Human Resources, and require the employees’ Banner file to be updated. So, the department is required to fill out a form that specifies the nature and details of the employment decision. Common examples of employment decisions requiring an EPAF include: Transfer an employee from one department to another Give an employee a pay or merit increase Change the labor distribution (budget) of the employee’s job Add an assignment to the employee’s job records There are many more “Job Change Reasons”. Refer to a complete list in the Appendix of this guide. I. EPAF Introduction – (A) EPAF Defined
6 I. EPAF Introduction – (A) EPAF Defined (cont.)Each job change must be approved on multiple levels. Most EPAFs require department and division approval. Finally, the EPAF is approved by the Payroll Department, and the EPAF is applied to the employee’s job record. If there are any problems with the EPAF, a designated “Approver” can select “Return for Correction” and require the “Originator” to correct or recreate the EPAF. The EPAF must be completed, approved, and applied in a timely manner so the employees’ job record can be updated. Timely completion of an EPAF is essential to help the Payroll Department pay an employee accurately and on time. EPAFs must have obtained all required approvals and be in HR’s approval queue by the 21st of each month. I. EPAF Introduction – (A) EPAF Defined (cont.)

9 EPAF Pay Period ScheduleEPAF’s are due in HR approximately a week before the end of a pay period. Please remember it may take a few days to gather all required approvals so it is imperative that EPAFs are submitted as early as possible to avoid delays in payments. The 2011 submission schedule can be found below: Pay Period Deadline EPAF must be approved in Banner by HR Pay Date 7/1/ /31/2011 7/21/2011 7/29/2011 8/1/ /31/2011 8/19/2011 8/31/2011 7/1/ /31/2012 9/21/2011 9/30/2011 8/1/ /31/2012 10/21/2011 10/31/2011 7/1/ /31/2013 11/21/2011 11/30/2011 8/1/ /31/2013 12/21/2011 12/30/2011 I.

19 II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAFSelect Job Assignment 7. Select either “New Job” or the “Existing” Position. New Job - Select this option if the EPAF is for a new role or a rehire. Position Number - Input the correct position number for the type of job assigned to the employee. The simplest way to accomplish this is to copy the employee’s previously assigned position number. Suffix - The suffix differentiates one job from another within the same position number of job type. When assigning a suffix for a new job use a suffix, 00 through 99, that is not assigned to an existing job. To ensure this, review Existing Jobs. The best way to handle this is to add 1 to the current suffix. For instance if the current suffix is 00 then assign the new suffix to be 01. Existing Job - Select this option if the EPAF modifies or continues an existing job. 8. Click “Go” II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAF

21 Complete Approval Routing QueueThe Approval Routing Queue determines the individuals who need to approve the EPAF. Each Approval Level populates within the EPAF based upon the Approval Category selected in Step 1. However, the EPAF originator must select the individual User Name for each level. There are three possible Required Actions: Approve - The individual is required to “approve” the EPAF. The EPAF can not be approved at a higher level until is it is approved at lower levels. FYI – This individual is used only to serve as an “FYI” or “acknowledge” the EPAF. Unlike the required action to “approve,” no action is required of someone who is set to “FYI”. Apply - Only an individual in Human Resources can “apply” an EPAF. This is the action that occurs when an EPAF is converted into a jobs record in the payroll system. II. How To Submit an EPAF...

Unless you are giving the employee a new assignment (job), be sure that you have selected the employee's Active Job in the New EPAF Job Selection screen. When using the SH Staff Stipends (DEFAUL) approval category, you should not enter a new position # and suffix, but rather select the employee's Active Job which will be listed near the bottom of that screen. If you have entered a new position # and suffix, please void your EPAF and begin again, keeping the aforementioned in mind.</span> <span class='tr'>Begin Date must equal the first Jobs Detail Effective Date.</span> <span class='tr'>This error is caused by what Banner considers to be a conflict in the Job Begin Date field. Job Begin Date signals the first date that the employee received the position # and suffix combination that you are now again assigning to him/her. To resolve the error, find the date listed in the Current Value column (to the left of the open field in the New Value column) and reenter this date in the New Value column.</span> <span class='tr'>Cannot be terminated. All jobs have to be ended.</span> <span class='tr'>This error signals that the employee has multiple active assignments, all but one of which must be terminated prior to the submission of a Termination of Employment EPAF. The Termination of Employment EPAF can serve to terminate the employee's final remaining assignment at the same time that it terminates their status as an employee. However, all additional assignments will have to be terminated using a Termination of Assignment-type EPAF, one for each additional assignment.</span> <span class='tr'>Citizen Code must be entered on PPAIDEN</span> <span class='tr'>This error signals that this employee does not have status as an employee and should be considered a "New Hire." If you are currently submitting an EPAF using the Staff or Student Assignments (-ASN or -ASG) approval categories, you will have to void your EPAF and resubmit using the appropriate "New Hire" (-NEW or -NW1) approval category.</span> <span class='tr'>Contract Begin Date must not be prior to the Base Job Begin Date.</span> <span class='tr'>The date you've entered in the Contract Begin Date field must match the Jobs Effective Date.

If not, remove the value you've entered in the Contract Begin Date field and leave it blank.</span> <span class='tr'>Current hire date must be later than original hire date.</span> <span class='tr'>Ensure that the value you've entered in the Current Hire Date field is not prior to the employee's original date of hire.

Banner will only only changes for dates in a current or future pay period. Please either submit the EPAF with a current or future Effective Date; or submit an EPAF using the Retro Adjustments (-ADJ) approval category, making the Query and Effective Date(s) equal to a current or future date, and the Personnel Date equal to the past date representing the actual date of the change.</span> <span class='tr'>End Date must be later than Begin Date</span> <span class='tr'>If you've entered a Contract End Date, be sure that this date falls after the Contract Begin Date (double-check the year, as this is sometimes overlooked). If this is not the problem, then it is likely that you are using a New Hire approval category for an employee that has previously been given an assignment with the University. If you are submitting a New Hire EPAF, please void or delete the current EPAF and resubmit using the Staff Assignments (-ASN) approval category.</span> <span class='tr'>First Labor Dist Effective Date must equal the Job Begin Date.</span> <span class='tr'>The Query Date you've chosen in Step 1 of the EPAF process cannot follow the Effective Date you have chosen. If the Effective Date of the personnel action is prior to the Query Date that you have chosen, then you will have to delete the current EPAF and begin another, taking care to ensure that the Query Date is equal to the Effective Date of the EPAF. If the Effective Date is not prior to the Query Date, then you can simply correct the Effective Date above the Labor Distribution (FOAP), save and resubmit.</span> <span class='tr'>First Name, SSN, Birth Date, Sex Code or Ethnic Code incomplete.</span> <span class='tr'>This error signals that the employee's biographical information has not been completely entered into Banner.
