An important message from FSU Office of Human Resources

This message has been approved by Shelley Lopez, Program Director, Communications/Special Projects, for distribution to all Department Representatives.

As we near the start of the fall semester, we have important appointment reminders to share with you.

New Hires/Rehires

  *   Electronic OMNI job offers are required for all hires.
     *   Once complete, HR Department Representatives should upload the following to the Supplemental Documents page within the Smart Onboarding portal before submitting to HR:
        *   a signed copy of the social security card,
        *   notarized loyalty oath, and
        *   any supplemental documents required for the position (ex: contract, driver's license, etc.) Refer to Appointment Papers Matrix<https://hr.fsu.edu/PDF/Publications/employment/Appointment_Papers_Matrix.pdf>.
  *   Fall express pools are available for use for OPS, GA, and OPS Faculty appointments. Training guides<https://hr.fsu.edu/?page=training/training_omni> are available for step-by-step instructions.
  *   I-9 Deadlines: Section 1 of the I-9 form must be completed on or before the employee's first day of work. Section 2 of the form must be completed by the third business day.
Smart Onboarding

  *   Smart Onboarding is used for new hires, rehires, additional appointments, and internal movement (e.g., promotions, laterals, etc.).
  *   Job Offers must be submitted 2-3 weeks in advance of the expected start date.
  *   Once the job offer is final approved, HR will launch the invitation to your candidate.
  *   Candidate invitations will expire after 21 days. Please ensure candidates start the onboarding process timely.
  *   Department Representatives and approvers should proactively monitor their My Tasks activities, worklist, and FSU Onboarding Approvals.
Background Checks

  *   Questionnaires: All OMNI Job Offers and Job Postings now contain the integrated Questionnaire; however, ePAF, pPAF, and one time pay actions for new hires, rehires, additional appointments, and internal movement actions (e.g., job code, department, or position number changes) still require manual completion of the Questionnaire via the Background Check Forms Portal<https://hrapps.fsu.edu/background_check_portal/index.cfm?page=home#/>.
     *   This includes all Graduate Assistant appointment actions. See the Graduate Assistant Background Check Process <http://hr.fsu.edu/?page=ers/bgc/14-graduate-assistants> for more information.
  *   Now Live is a Background Check Approval Email for appointments not requiring background checks sent from FSUOnboarding at FSU.EDU. This approval must be received for all appointments before work begins per University Policy 4-OP-C-7-B11<https://policies.vpfa.fsu.edu/policies-and-procedures/faculty-staff/employment-and-recruitment#4-OP-C-7-B11>.
  *   Purchase Order transition to Fiscal Year 2020: FY 2019 POs have closed. See AR/Billing Announcement<https://controller.vpfa.fsu.edu/auxiliary-ar-billing/announcement> for details.
Faculty Hires

  *   Original official transcripts are required for all Faculty appointments.
  *   Transcripts uploaded to Smart Onboarding must have the proper chain of custody. If you have questions, please see the Transcripts Procedures FAQs<http://www.hr.fsu.edu/PDF/forms/TranscriptProceduresFAQs.pdf>.
Graduate Assistant Hires

  *   Graduate Assistant Offer Letters are required for all Graduate Assistant new hires, rehires, and additional appointments.
  *   The minimum Pay Rate is $19.23 per hour for all Graduate Assistant appointments.
Dual Compensation Forms

  *   Additional Appointments may warrant a dual compensation form if:
     *   The employee is being hired into a different department than the currently active appointment(s),
     *   The currently active appointment is salaried and the new appointment is OPS (and vice versa), or
     *   The additional appointment increases the employee's total combined FTE to exceed 1.0.

*         Dual Compensation forms for additional appointments should be submitted electronically through Smart Onboarding.
Terminations vs. Transfers

  *   If a salaried employee is moving to another department or position within the University without a break in service, DO NOT submit a termination ePAF.
  *   The department should complete the Employee Transfer Checklist<https://hr.fsu.edu/PDF/Transferringemployees.pdf> and maintain a copy in their department files.
Appointment Deadlines

  *   Complete appointment paperwork received by the deadline<http://hr.fsu.edu/pdf/publications/timeandleave/2019PayrollDeadlinesCalendar.pdf> will be processed by the end of the pay period. Appointments received after the deadline or missing required documents may not be processed by the end of the pay period.
myFSU BI Reports for Appointment Verification

  *   Active Employees Report: Should be run on Wednesdays before the time entry deadline, each pay period during a normal pay cycle.
     *   All appointments that made deadline should appear on the report for verification.
     *   Verify appointment details and report any discrepancies via FSU Service Center case.
  *   Cost Center Report: Available during payroll processing. Two preliminary reports are released before the final report, one on Friday afternoon and one on Monday morning, during normal pay cycles.
     *   Discrepancies on the cost center report should be addressed as soon as possible through an FSU Service Center case. The deadline for cases during a normal payroll cycle is 10:30 a.m. on Monday.
