Activating a Candidate as an Employee
The following documents must be completed and submitted to the HR Officer before a candidate can be activated as a GSU employee:
-
Completed Faculty Hire Packet. This is sent to the Candidate from the Dean's office with the offer letter. The Candidate should complete the packet, sign it and mail it to the HR Officer at the address listed on the hire packet. Please do not have the candidate submit hire packets directly to University HR as this will only further delay new hire processing.
-
Identification and Proof of Authorization to Work in the United States (provided by Candidate)
-
New Hire ePAF (initiated by Department)
Timeline for submitting new hire ePAF:
All new hire ePAFs must be received by University HR at least 10 business days prior to the next scheduled faculty payroll in order for the new employee to be included in that payroll.
To allow for processing, the department must submit the new hire ePAF to the HR Officer at least 12 business days prior to the next scheduled payroll. This provides Administrative Services the standard 48 hour turnaround time for document processing.
*please note that any errors in your ePAF or submitted documents can cause a delay in processing
Process for Terminating Faculty:
A terminating ePAF must be initiated and submitted by the department any time a regular faculty or visiting faculty ends his or her employment with the College/University. The terminating ePAF notifies Payroll to remove the employee from payroll and generates important employee benefits information notification. All ePAFs must be received by University HR at least 10 business days prior to the next scheduled faculty payroll in order for the employee to be removed from that payroll.
To allow for processing, the department must submit the new hire ePAF to the HR Officer at least 12 business days prior to the next scheduled payroll. This provides Administrative Services the standard 48 hour turnaround time for document processing.
*please note that any errors in your ePAF or submitted documents can cause a delay in processing
