Most salaried summer appointments, including existing appointments, should be entered into the OMNI HR “Enter Mass Appointments” screen by staff in each Dean's, Director’s, or Vice President’s office.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b>Faculty members who are currently on a paid or unpaid leave of absence (including sabbaticals) will not be included in the Mass Appointments screens.
</b>Please submit a pPAF to return these faculty members from leave and appoint them for the summer. Note the addition of the “Visa” tab on the Faculty Mass Appointment screen. If a faculty member’s visa information is not current in OMNI HR, you will not be
able to appoint the faculty via Mass Appointment. Instead, send the updated visa documents and an ePAF to Human Resources to complete the summer appointment.<o:p></o:p></p>
