PERSONNEL ACTIONS#

Personnel Actions are date sensitive proposals to change a person's employment and/or work arrangement, for which some kind of approval is required.

Personnel Actions are created from application forms for functions that have a PA Type associated with them and maintained through the Maintain Personnel Actions (ISPA) form.

Working with an employee, you will record a personnel action for them. To record a personnel action, complete the following steps:

1. Choose the PA Type that you wish to use.
2. Select/override the default change reason.
3. Set the PA Status.
4. Choose an assignment (if required by the PA Type) and an effective date for your change(s).
5. Save your PA.

The PA fields will then appear in the lower portion of the screen. Make the appropriate field changes in the PA new values column. The PA type of value indicates whether the PA new value column has been entered by the user or has been defaulted in by the system and from which source it is derived.

After all updates have been made, you must approve the PA status before running USPPA.

Record Personnel Actions data is maintained on the P2K_SA_PERSONNEL_ACTIONS, P2K_SA_PERSONNEL_CHANGES, P2K_AM_REQUESTS and P2K_AM_REQUEST_ACTIVITIES tables.
