The PeopleAdmin Position Description Module will handle all new positions, reclassifications of positions, and abolishing positions.
An in-house web form, called Position Change Form, was developed to handle budget changes, funding changes, and all other position actions that do not need to go through PeopleAdmin. It will be accessed via OneStop under the Banner section when it becomes available.
The Electronic Personnel Approval Forms (EPAFs) will handle all processes relating to a new employee, reclassifying an employee, funding change on the Employee's Job Record, changes on the Employee and/or Job, and other personnel actions for employees and/or the job.
Although these tools will initially have a learning curve regarding the new processes and procedures, once they are mastered, the tasks will be less time consuming and the changes can be tracked.
