Job Data

Note: HRMS eDocs provide you with two columns of information. The left column shows you data for the employee’s record as it currently exists in the system. The data is copied forward to the right column with only certain field(s) editable. In this case, the only editable field is: Compensation Rate.

  1. Enter the adjusted Compensation Rate (Clicking on the Calc Annual Rate will show the new Annual Rate). Note data on the right side that has been updated is now highlighted in yellow. This not only helps you confirm any changes before submitting for routing, but also helps approvers note changes when they review for approval.
  2. Now click Continue.

Note: If you realize you need to make a change after moving to the next section of the eDoc, you can use the return button to return to that section.

Earnings

Review the Earnings Section and update any funding information that needs to be changed.

Notes and Attachments

You can open Notes and Attachments by clicking on the Show button in that section. Enter your note in the Note Text field and click Add. Once it has been added, it will show your name as the author and list a Date/Time Stamp.
