ay summer appointments

This reference guide covers creating/amending and viewing AY (academic year) summer appointments for academic faculty and staff. 

Enter Employee Information

To start the process, click Actions > HR/Payroll Forms & Cost Redistributions > Process an AY Summer Appt for Faculty or Acad. Staff > Start Employee Process. 

  1. Enter the personnel number or search for and select the employee by name using the search button. 
  2. Click the Search Employee button. The system populates the Employee Details and Base Pay Details. You will be directed to create a new AY summer appointment if one does not exist. If one does exist, the data for the current summer appointment will be displayed and you will be given the option to amend the appointment. 
  3. Click the New Appointment or Amendment button to begin entering the summer appointment.

Step 1 Enter Employee Information

  1. Enter the Start Date and End Date of the appointment. Dates must be within the range specified for the summer term, typically May 16 to August 15.  If you were directed to an Amendment, then you will be able to edit or delete the current summer appointment or add an additional summer appointment.
  2. In the appointment type field, select the appointment type of Teaching or Research/Other from the drop down menu.
  3. Enter the fund in the Fund (Account) field.
  4. If applicable, enter the WBS Element (Sub-Account).
  5. If applicable, enter the Cost Center (Sub-Object).
  6. If the appointment type is teaching, you are required to enter UNTF or NOUNTF in the Order (Project Code).
  7. If the appointment type is teaching, you are required to enter the course and section number in the Functional Area (Org Ref ID). The search functionality is particularly useful with this field, and using an asterisk “*” as a wildcard to search for courses is recommended. For example, to search for course ANR-00250730, type ANR*250* to view all ANR 250 sections
  8. Enter either the effort percentage or the total dollar amount for the summer appointment. These fields are dependent on each other and will populate based on whichever field is changed. If you have another appointment line, then repeat this process.
  9. When finished entering information, click the Next button to calculate or update totals and check for errors. Errors will appear on the screen.  After everything looks accurate, click Continue.

Step 2 

  1. Add comments and attach documents if needed. If the employee is UNTF, the UNTF Offer Letter is required. 

Step 3 

  1. Click the Next button to get to the summary screen, where future approvers are displayed on the page.  If everything is accurate, click Check to get to the Review screen.  If additional approvers are required, add an Ad Hoc Approver. 

Step 4 

  1. A PDF version of the form can be generated. Note: If printed prior to submission of the form, the PDF version will not display the process reference number because those numbers are not generated until workflow is initiated.   Click Send to submit the form into workflow. After the form is submitted, the form reference number will appear.
