Project Description

This project will create a streamlined electronic process to submit, route, approve, and apply job and employment changes. HR currently creates/updates more than 80,000 base employee and job records each year, mostly via a manual data entry process. UA currently has about 60 reasons job data in Banner must be changed. Each reason requires slight variations in the documentation required and routing required for approvals. This project will simplify the submission and approval process by automating submission of supporting data and documentation, specific to each change reason as well as the approval routing for each specific reason. This process will utilize Banner EPAFs (Electronic Personnel Action Forms) and possibly Workflow and On Base tools currently owned by UA.


Implementation Benefits

  • Simpler and more efficient means of collecting/entering job changes
  • Reduce PPA/CCC time spent completing and managing paper job forms
  • Reduce MAU HR time spent keying job changes
  • Increase data accuracy
  • Increase efficiency in the approval process
  • Eliminate redundant steps in process
  • Enhance communication to the employee, supervisor, HR, and other departments
  • May eventually reduce late paperwork thereby reducing UA liability for late payroll and reducing cost of processing late paperwork
