Personnel Action Request (E-39)

Original Implementation: Unpublished
Last Revision: April 21, 2009

The Personnel Action Request (PAR) form is used to obtain administrative approval and to notify Payroll/Human Resources (HR) of changes in employment status for all employees, including graduate students, but not undergraduate students. Detailed instructions for the completion of the PAR are available from HR. The PAR is a six-part carbonless form and all items on the form are to be completed as explained in the procedures described on the HR Web site. Most of the required information is easily accessible.

PAR's should be prepared for the following reasons:

  1. Employment of a classified or non-classified position including graduate students, but excluding undergraduate students.
  2. A change in the employee's title, salary (outside of the annual budget process), FTE percentage, account number or department or if an employee is being reappointed, has an overload, or is receiving a salary supplement.
  3. Whenever an employee is going on leave without pay, a return to work, or a faculty development leave.
  4. Whenever an employee is separating from employment with the university including retirements, voluntary and involuntary terminations, and at the end of an assignment when the employee will not be returning the next semester

PARs should be completed, signed, and routed to Human Resources before the employee starts to work, immediately at the time of the change of status, or immediately at the end of the assignment. An employee who has questions regarding the procedures may contact Human Resources for assistance.
