Overview
This article explains how to begin and create an Electronic Personnel Action Form (EPAF) transaction for a current employee. It also outlines how to navigate the New EPAF Person Selection and New EPAF Job Selection pages and provides guidance for selecting the correct position number.
Accessing the New EPAF Person Selection Page
Begin an EPAF transaction for a current employee from the New EPAF Person Selection page.
This page is accessible to all EPAF users, including Originators, Approvers, and Superusers, based on the established EPAF rules.
You can access this page by selecting the New EPAF link from any of the following locations:
New EPAF Job Selection Page
The New EPAF Job Selection page appears when creating an EPAF and selecting an Approval Category that requires you to specify a job for the transaction.
Note:
If the selected Approval Category does not involve changes to job-related fields, the New EPAF Job Selection page will not be displayed.
Selecting the Correct Position Number
On the New EPAF Job Selection page, you will need to specify the appropriate Position Number for the employee’s job.
-
Originators must obtain the position number associated with the employee's job assignment.
-
The position number used depends on how the position is funded (e.g., departmental budget, sponsored project, or grant).
Information Displayed on the New EPAF Job Selection Page
The following information appears on this page:
-
Selection Criteria – Displays the criteria entered on the New EPAF Person Selection page (for reference only).
-
Job Table/All Jobs – Shows both new job information and any existing job information if the employee holds multiple positions.
Next Steps
After selecting the appropriate position number and verifying job details, continue the EPAF creation process according to your departmental procedures and approval routing setup.
