What the PAF Preparer Needs to Know

1. PAFs should be approved as soon as possible. View the PAF Deadlines.
2. PAF Approvers receive seven (7) email reminders a week:
   • Monday-Friday at 7:30 a.m.
   • Tuesday & Wednesday at 12:30 p.m.
3. PAF Preparers will receive an email notification once the PAF has been processed.
4. After the PAF is submitted, a PAF Collaborator can edit certain fields on the PAF. To learn more about the role and responsibility of PAF Collaborators, visit the PAF Collaborator support web page.
5. If the PAF is updated after it is submitted into workflow, the PAF Preparer and anyone who has approved the PAF will receive an email notification. The email will note who made the change, date, time, old values, and new values. The audit can also be viewed on the History tab in the PAF System. If there is a concern with the new value, contact the employee who made the change.

The Impact of Late PAFs

The following are possible consequences of late PAFs:

• Tax implications if larger amount than expected in paying month.
• Over-payments or under-payments. Over-payments require the employee to pay back the university; under-payments require manual work for Payroll to process special checks.
• Employee cannot enroll in benefits until PAF is processed.
• Until the PAF is processed new employees will not have access to many of the systems on campus.
• Cannot request building key/access for a new employee. Faculty assignments are an exception.

Requesting Roles: Security Request System

To create and submit a PAF, an employee must have the Personnel Action Form (PAF) (MW04) transaction.

To view all PAFs within an organization, the PAF Preparer must have the e-Business Suite HR Mgr Self Service responsibility for that organization (e.g., 'HR Academic_Learning_Center Mgr Self Service', 'HR Inst_Dec_Mkg Mgr Self Service', etc.). The PAF System also recognizes organization hierarchies; therefore, if the user has the HR Mgr Self Service role for a college they will be able to see all the departments within their college. The e-Business Suite HR Mgr Self Service responsibility also allows the PAF Preparer to view employment data on employees within e-Business Suite (for instructions, view the Viewing Employee Data in Self Service handout).

• UNI Username/UID Search (General Access) (WW19)
