Overview
There are 2 parts to creating a PAR (Personnel Action Request):
Part 1: Create a PAR: The first steps that all PAR transactions begin with.
Part 2: Individual PAR Transaction Type: Steps vary by the type of PAR transaction being created.
This procedure is Part 1: Create a PAR. It outlines the first steps that all PAR transactions begin with. Links to Individual PAR Transaction Types (Part 2) are provided at the bottom of this document.
Important Information
- A transaction must be initiated and approved by all unit approvers by the payroll cutoff.
- Draft transactions and associated attachments are deleted after 48 business hours.
- (blank) transactions and associated attachments are deleted nightly.
- The transaction's status is (blank) when it is closed without clicking Save & Submit, Save as Draft, or Delete Transaction. See the Save, Validate, or Delete a PAR step-by-step procedure for more information.
- If a transaction with a Draft, Pending, or Denied status exists, creating another workflow transaction is not possible.
- If the employee has multiple appointments with different final approvers, coordinate with the final approvers before beginning this transaction. See the PAR Final Approvers for Job Updates worksheet located in the HRRIS Job Aids for more information.
- For Temporary appointments, only Comp Rate Change, Reclassification, Transfer or Promotion, Appointment End Date, Supervisor ID or Unit PCN Change, Correction or Deletion of Data, Termination or Retirement, Additional Pay Change, DBE Change, and Add Workstudy are available using PAR.
