Overview
Business officers and personnel administrators use the Personnel Administration Actions (PA40) functionality to carry out a variety of required processes at UK. More specifically, these users select Actions via PA40 to carry out hiring and rehiring, transfers, additional assignments, separations, and other processes that change individual assignments. Users can think of PA40 Actions as the means for connecting a person (employee) to a specific position. Because of the built-in relationships, the position is tied to a specific employee group and subgroup and is described by a job. Too, the position belongs to a particular organizational unit. Regardless of the Action selected, the user will follow a general process or pattern for PA40. Actions are carried out through a series of Infotypes, screens that display for user review and data entry. These Infotypes appear in a logical order, prompting the user to enter data as required and save. Infotypes that appear in Actions cover personal data, payroll data, organizational assignments, dates, work schedules, and address information. Additional Infotypes are included for faculty members and hospital hires. Other background Infotypes are created in the Actions process.

Tips and Reminders


Be sure to begin with a blank Person ID field when executing: o New Hires o Re-hires/Reinstates o Changes in Positions/Transfers o Additional Assignments Enter the Start date before initiating any Action. Remember to key names in correct format. Names entered with all lower case letters cause difficulties in searching and matching. When creating the 0002 Infotype for a new hire, users must carefully examine any pop-up information concerning a student ID that already exists and avoid creating duplicate IDs. Save! Save! Save! In the event of an interruption during the New Hire Action, users should make every effort to save Infotypes 0000, 0002, and 0001. Required fields are denoted with a check mark ( before continuing. ). These fields must be completed

Only active employee records were converted from HRS to IRIS-HR/Payroll. The Business Officer role includes the ability to create and maintain cost distribution (0027) for staff and student employees, as well as part-time faculty members. Cost distribution records for the full-time faculty are updated by FES processes.

HR Cost Objects and Cost Distribution Information


End-users who are authorized to carry out Personnel Administration Actions need understanding of cost objects and cost distribution functionality in IRIS. The cost object processed against earnings or deductions is based upon hierarchy logic. The following points help to explain the hierarchy: Each employee is linked to an organizational unit via a position. This relationship can be found on Organizational Assignment (Infotype 0001). Each Organization unit is linked to what is called a home (or default) Cost Center (this is a 1:1 link). This Cost Center displays on the employee record on Infotype 0001. Positions are linked to cost distribution through Cost Distribution (Infotype 1018). This allows for multiple cost objects with percentage break downs. (System users will find 1018 similar to the HRS 063 screen.) All positions should have an Infotype 1018 record. Employees can be linked to a cost distribution through Cost Distribution (Infotype 0027). Again, this allows for multiple cost objects with percentage breakdowns. (System users will find 0027 similar to the HRS 036 screen.) An 0027 record is not required for all employees. Additional payments are entered through Recurring Payments (Infotype 0014) and Additional Payments (Infotype 0015). Payments entered on these infotypes can be directly linked to a single cost object, if desired (not required).

Illustrations of Cost Distribution and Payroll Processing


EE #10111111 John Doe John is linked to a position 50999999; therefore he is related to Dept ABC. Dept ABC is linked to Cost Center 1099999999. If payroll processed at this point, with only the link to Dept ABC, all cost would be charged to CC 1099999999. This is not a likely scenario. Position 50999999 has an IT 1018 with 70% going to Cost Center 1088888888 and 30% going to Cost Center 1077777777. If payroll processed at this point, the 1018 would override the home cost center, and cost would be charged 70% to CC 1088888888 and 30% to CC 1077777777. This is the most probable scenario. John Doe, EE #10111111, has an IT 0027 with 60% going to Cost Center 1055555555 and 40% going to Cost Center 1044444444.

____________________________________________________
PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION ACTIONS section, last updated October 6, 2006 Page 4 of 49

If payroll processed at this point, the 0027 would override the 1018 cost centers, and cost would be charged 60% to CC 1055555555 and 40% to CC 1044444444. John Doe has an Additional Payment of $1,000. This payment is charged to Cost Center 1022222222. IT 0027 still exists. If payroll processed at this point, the $1,000 payment would be charged to Cost Center 1022222222. All other costs would follow what is on 0027 which would be 60% to CC 1055555555 and 40% to CC 1044444444. Note that the progression of overrides will hold true with any combination of the above.

Position Changes/Transfers/Updates
Business officers and personnel administrators will use PA40 to handle various position situations for employees. The Action taken on PA40 will depend upon whether the situation involves a position change or position update. Position changes include transfers and other changes wherein the employees position number changes, i.e., the employee is moving from one position to another. All position changes are handled with the Main Campus Create Assignment or Hospital Create Assignment. Position updates, on the other hand, involve changes in the values or attributes of positions. When an employee occupies a position that is changed, the Position Update Action must be executed on PA40. The employee remains in the same position, but the affected attributes are updated on the employees record.

Tips and Reminders


Always check with the Payroll Office when an employee transfer involves Payroll area change. When employees are changing positions within the same Payroll area, the Start date should be recorded as the first day on the new position (any time within the pay period.) If employees are transferring and changing Payroll areas, remember the importance of the Start date. If the change is from Biweekly to Monthly, the Start date is the first day of the next biweekly pay period. If the change is from Monthly to Biweekly, the Start date is the first day of the next monthly pay period. When an employee is changing positions/transferring, the position number is changed while the personnel number (PRNR) remains the same. In cases of position updates, Compensation or the authorized Budget Officer must update the actual position (PP01). The position number does not change when a position is updated. In transfer situations, the employees new department has responsibility for carrying out all required processing in IRIS. Sending and receiving departments must communicate carefully in transfer situations. The receiving department must update the Mail Code (org unit) field to ensure that the pay statement arrives in the correct locale. FTE changes affect vacation and TDL accruals, as well as holiday pay calculation. The Cost Distribution must be delimited as part of the Position Change Action (Infotype 0027) for staff employees and part-time faculty members. FES will update the Cost Distribution for full-time faculty members.

Time Sheets: Time sheets will need to be maintained for all employees, biweekly and monthly, during their time on Workers Compensation.

Separation Information
When UK employees leave the institution, business officers and personnel administrators must separate them with a PA40 Action. Separation is required for various reasons, ranging from employee resignation to involuntary discharge. Any break in service should result in a Separation. For example, separation is required for students who leave positions after the spring semester (return in fall is uncertain). Likewise, instructors who teach in the spring semester only must be separated when their spring assignments conclude.

Tips and Reminders


When beginning work on a separation, check to see if the employee has any other active assignments. Communicate with the other unit, in the event of an additional assignment, so that improper separation does not take place. Complete required form and submit to Human Resources. Dont confuse Separation with Transfer! If an employee is transferring to a new position in another unit, the new assignment Action will cause the old one to end. No Separation Action is required. An approved Leave does not constitute a Separation. Users should contact Compensation if they have questions or need clarification. If funding is available, you can overlap the separating employee and the new employee using the same position. For staff and part-time faculty separations, the Cost Distribution (Infotype 0027) must be delimited. Cost distribution records for full-time faculty members are maintained through FES processes. Remember to create any required quota compensation payouts (Infotype 0416) for staff members in accordance with UK policy and procedure. (See instructions in Time Management section.) Terminal vacation payouts for 11- and 12-month faculty members and post-doctoral scholars are processed with Infotype 2010. (See instructions in Faculty Specifics section.)
