2. What is a Secondary Assignment ePAR?
A Secondary Assignment ePAR allows you to add a secondary assignment to an existing employee.
Secondary Assignment ePARs can only be used to enter a secondary assignment for an employee who is actively employed at UTD. It cannot be used to enter a new employee or to rehire a previous employee.
Please contact Human Resources and/or the Payroll office if you have questions about a new hire or a rehire.
If a Secondary Assignment ePAR is needed, please continue reading. If another type of ePAR is needed, please see our other training materials.
