Update coming soon.

Description

Process of maintaining pay rate data (pay rate change) for an academic employee (Non AC2). These activities consist of re-appointing an Academic Employee who is not configured in the budget construction process.

Business Practices

Step by Step

1. Maintenance must be performed on an employee’s compensation.
2. The departmental user initiates an electronic document (E-Doc) to begin the pay rate change process.
3. The E-Doc is routed for approvals.
4. The Central Office reviews the E-Doc, provides final approval and save to HRMS.

Key Information

• The following is key information you may need to know to complete the process:
• Effective date
• Action/Reason
• Amount of Compensation
• If at any time you need to cancel the E-Doc you are processing, DO NOT click the “X” on the upper right corner of the document. Clicking the “X” will create subject locking on the employee and/or position id. Always use the button to cancel an E-Doc.
• Do not use the browser back arrow to move to a previous page, this will create subject locking on the employee and/or position id.
