Personnel Action Request (E-39)

Original Implementation: Unpublished
Last Revision: April 13, 2006

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 or on the HR website at:  http://www.sfasu.edu/personnel/documents/NewPARInstructions.pdf. 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 website. 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, FTE percentage, account number or department or if an employee is being reappointed, or has an overload, or is receiving a stipend.

  3. Whenever an employee is going on leave or returning from leave, including family medical leave, sick leave of more than three days, bereavement or administrative leave, leave with pay, leave without pay, worker's compensation injury, military training or duty leave, faculty development leave, or jury duty.

  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 and routed to Human Resources within 14 days of the event that triggers the need for the PAR.  If you know that a triggering event is going to take place, you can submit the PAR before the event happens.  If you have questions regarding the procedures, you should contact Human Resources and ask for assistance.
