Staff EPAF Redesign
What's New
- Updated Staff UNMTemp Extension EPAF to retain supervisor information when extension is processed.
- Updated Staff Term Extension EPAF so term extensions that span fiscal years do not impact budget encumbrances.
- Updated EPAF approval routing queue to remove dependency on Dept Apprv Level 1 - Staff role when submitting EPAFs.
- Updated EPAF approval routing queue to include College/School/Division Approver on EPAFs that have budgetary or employee relations impact.
- Updated EPAF approval routing queue to replace HR Consultant review with HR Transaction Center review. HR Consultants will remain in routing queues for EPAFs that have employee relations impact.
Reason for Change
- To improve effectiveness and timeliness of EPAF processing by fixing "bugs" in current EPAFs and reducing the numbers of required approval steps before the change is made to the employee's record.
- Rethinking the purpose of EPAF routing queue from employment transaction approval to facilitating the flow of information and transaction processing.
- Increase flexibility of EPAF approval routing queue to accommodate structure of both large and small divisions.
- Increased flexibility of EPAF approval routing queue so HR Agents can determine the appropriate EPAF routing within a division.
- To facilitate the flow of information through the applicable HR Agent regarding employment transactions that have employee relations or budgetary impact.

EPAF Changes Will be Implemented March 5, 2018.
- Updated EPAF job aids for Staff UNMTemp and Staff Term Extension EPAFs will be placed on Employee Knowledge Base and HR Forms page.
