5 I. EPAF Introduction – (A) EPAF Defined
An 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.)

The EPAF system will have significant impact on how we do business at the Alabama A&M University. Critical benefits provided to AAMU employees: 12,000 transaction/year will be automated 2,000 paper forms/year will be eliminated Electronic approval routing Electronic tracking No lost PAF forms Reduced processing time from 3-4 weeks to approx 24 hours No redundant data entry Reduced data entry error I. EPAF Introduction – (B) Benefits of EPAF (cont.)

9 EPAF Pay Period Schedule
EPAF’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.

If the person is set up as an employee, the search will return results. If the person is not defined as an employee, contact HR. Employees are prohibited from entering PAFs for themselves. Serious disciplinary action can occur. II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (B) Select Employee for New EPAF

14 II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAF
Setting Query Date 6. Next, input the “Query Date”. Determine the Query Date by following guidelines: If this EPAF terminates an assignment, use the last day of the employee’s final pay period. -OR- If this EPAF creates a new assignment for a new-hire or re-hire, use the start date of employment. For all other EPAFs, use the first day of the pay period. If this EPAF is entered AFTER the intended pay period, you MUST: Enter the first day of the new pay period In the “comments” section of the EPAF (last step), make note of the oversight and enter the intended start date. II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAF

15 Determining EPAF Approval Category (Type)
There are several general types of EPAFs. The body of the EPAF populates based upon the selected “Approval Category”. The “Approval Category” also determines which levels are required for EPAF approval. Select the “Approval Category” that most appropriately fits the type of EPAF that is being created. The chart on the following slides will assist with determining the appropriate “Approval Category”. II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAF

19 II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAF
Select 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

20 Complete Main Job & Budget Information
The “Main Job” section contains core information about the employee’s position. The “Budget” (aka “Labor Distribution”) section contains information about the employee’s payment budget. Main Job Budget TIP: For an explanation of descriptions & valid values for each field used to complete the “Main Job” & “Budget” sections, please find the view the “Approval Category Definitions” in the Appendix. II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAF

21 Complete Approval Routing Queue
The 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... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAF

22 Complete Approval Routing Queue
10. Select the appropriate “User Name” for each “Approval Level”. Using the magnifying glass search icon, select the most appropriate “Approver” from the available “User Names”. II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAF

23 II. How To Submit an EPAF... Originators: (A)Creating New EPAF
Enter Comments If a user has any additional comments, the “Comment” field allows the EPAF Originator to input any text to add information. Note: Comments can be entered by anyone in the approval chain. Employee is replacing Bob Marley as the Program Manager in the Horticulture Department. IMPORTANT: Once comments are “saved,” they can not be changed. Be careful with articulating comments. An EPAF user can make multiple comments to the EPAF, and comments can be attached to the EPAF at any approval level. Comments are REQUIRED in the following situations: SITUATION FORMAT OF COMMENTS (VERBATIM) WHO ENTERS Rehires or new hires who are being submitted after pay period cut-off date. Departmental Oversight: Intended Start Date <mm/dd//yyyy> EPAF Originator Salary Supplement / Extraordinary / Overload Pay Situations Purpose, Duration, and Amount of Pay for the entire Duration FOAP (Fund-Org-Account-Program) Information with Percentage F-O-A-P XX% (Ex: %) Full Employee Separations from the University prior to 1993 Employee needs to be paid out <###> hours for Accrued Sick Leave Hours ending 10/31/1993 Human Resources Approver II.

58 EPAF Errors – Message Troubleshooting
Appendix - B EPAF Errors – Message Troubleshooting

59 EPAF Errors – Troubleshooting
Error Message Solution Address of this type exists. If you encounter this error locate the Address Type, and from the drop-down menu select "CO - Campus Office." Then, in the Address Line 1 enter the text "TBD" (no quotes). This error signals that we already have a permanent address on file. Approval Level must be selected first. In the Routing Queue section of the EPAF, the left column Approval Level should pre-populate with the levels appropriate to the approval category that you've selected. Please check that an Approval Level has been selected from the drop-down menu for every User ID that you've entered. We are aware of an inexplicable error that will occasionally remove these values and disallow their entry. In this unfortunate case, the EPAF will have to be voided and begun again. Base Job cannot begin before the position. Check position dates. Please contact HR if you encounter this error. Base Job record must exist to create a new job. This error indicates that you are trying to amend a job that doesn't exist. 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. Begin Date must equal the first Jobs Detail Effective Date. 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. Cannot be terminated. All jobs have to be ended. 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. Citizen Code must be entered on PPAIDEN 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. Contract Begin Date must not be prior to the Base Job Begin Date. The date you've entered in the Contract Begin Date field must match the Jobs Effective Date. Please ensure that these match. Also, remember that the Contract Begin Date field should be left blank except in the case of stipend and faculty assignments.

60 EPAF Errors – Troubleshooting
Error Message Solution Contract Start and End Dates must both exist. This error indicates that a value has been entered in the Contract Begin Date field, but no Contract End Date has been entered. Remember that Contract Date(s) should only be entered for stipends and Faculty assignments. If you are submitting an EPAF for such an assignment, be sure to enter a Contract End Date. If not, remove the value you've entered in the Contract Begin Date field and leave it blank. Current hire date must be later than original hire date. Ensure that the value you've entered in the Current Hire Date field is not prior to the employee's original date of hire. The Current Hire Date should typically match the Jobs Effective Date in the EPAF. Date cannot be prior to the Base Job Begin Date of DD-MON-YYYY. The date you've entered in the Contract Begin Date field must match the Jobs Effective Date. Please ensure that these match. Also, remember that the Contract Begin Date field should be left blank except in the case of stipend and faculty assignments. Eff Date must be greater than Last Paid Date of DD-MMM-YYYY This error indicates that you are attempting to enact a change in the employee's payroll record with an effective date prior to the last work-day for which he/she has been paid. 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. End Date must be later than Begin Date 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. First Labor Dist Effective Date must equal the Job Begin Date. 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. First Name, SSN, Birth Date, Sex Code or Ethnic Code incomplete. This error signals that the employee's biographical information has not been completely entered into Banner. Please contact HR if you encounter this error.

61 EPAF Errors – Troubleshooting
Error Message Solution First Work Date must be less than or equal to Last Work Date. This error signals that this employee has previously been terminated as an employee of the University. In order for you to grant this employee a new assignment, Payroll will have to reactivate them as an employee. Please contact Payroll and request that they amend the employee record. I9 Expiration Date not allowed when I9 Form Indicator = Received This error indicates that HR has entered an expiration date for the employee's I-9 form. Please contact HR and request that the I-9 expiration date be removed from the PEAEMPL form (they'll know what you're talking about). After HR has confirmed that this has been done, resubmit the EPAF. ID is not defined as an employee. Please reverify ID and if everything is correct, contact HR if you encounter this error. Job Begin Date cannot be after Employee's Termination Date. This error signals that this employee has previously been terminated as an employee of the University. In order for you to grant this employee a new assignment, HR will have to reactivate them as an employee. Please contact Payroll and request that they amend the employee record. Job Detail record must be terminated with effective date = end date. The Job End Date field should be left blank. Remove any values from this field, save and resubmit. For a stipend or faculty assignment, the end date of the assignment should be entered in the Contract End Date field. Job Detail record must exist to create a new job. This error indicates that you are trying to amend a job that doesn't exist. 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. New Effective cannot be after Employee's Termination Date. This error signals that this employee has previously been terminated as an employee of the University. In order for you to grant this employee a new assignment, HR will have to reactivate them as an employee. New Job Labor Distribution Date should be >= query effective date. 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.

62 EPAF Errors – Troubleshooting
Error Message Solution Pay ID not found on PTRCALN for fiscal year and effective date. Please contact HR if you encounter this error. Termination Date has to be >= Jobs End date. This error signals that a Termination Date or Contract End Date has already been specified for this assignment, and this date lies after the Termination Date that you have entered. In order to override the termination or end date currently in the system, you will have to contact payroll so that they can amend the record. The Begin Date and Step must be entered for a new job. Locate the Step field in the EPAF and enter the number "0". The Fund/Organization/Account/Program code XXXXXX is invalid. Please change. The value you've entered in the listed field is invalid. Locate the Labor Distribution (FOAP) section of the EPAF and enter a valid value in the field specified in the error message (e.g. Fund). If you are unsure of what the valid value is, please consult your department's budget manager. Also, be sure that the letter "S" has been entered in the COA column in the row containing the FOAP for this assignment. The future dated Job record must be deleted before ending Job. This error signals that a personnel action is scheduled to take place after the termination date that you have specified. If you are sure that you have entered the correct termination date, please contact HR as they may have to manipulate the payroll record to resolve the EPAF error.
