MAY 2007 - BUSINESS
NOTES AND NEWS
Training
HR now offers In-Depth I-9 Training. All
department representatives who complete I-9s
should attend. This training session
includes examples, discussion, review, and
your very own desk manual. Please contact
Sandra Medellin at
smedellin@uh.edu,
to attend one of the sessions. Class sizes
are limited to 20 to facilitate discussion
and practice time.
Coming soon to a training room near you: New
and Improved PAR Training.
Updates to the PAR manuals will be available
on the HR website soon. For those new to
personnel action processing (PARs and PRFs),
the training and manuals will roll out
shortly - keep an eye out!
Short Work Break or Termination or Leave of Absence - Which action to use?
Short Work Break (SWB) should only be used
for employees who are due insurance for the
Summer semester because they taught during
the Spring semester. Leave of Absence (LOA)
should be the action used any other time
that insurance eligible students or benefits
eligible staff do not work. This will
trigger a process to notify ERS of the
leave, and notify the employee of the option
to continue insurance at their cost. LOA can
also be used for non-benefit eligible staff
or students who are not working for a short
period of time, and you know they are
returning. However, if you are not sure of
their return, the assignment should be
Terminated.
Rehiring recently terminated employees is
now easier. A new I-9 will only be required
for rehires with a break in service of more
than one year, or the information on the I-9
has changed or expired. Otherwise, HR will
update the current I-9 form on file in HR.
When creating PARs for recent rehires,
please put this statement in the remarks,
"Rehire with less than one year break." We
have also eliminated the need to attach
personal data sheets for rehires, as
employees can update their information in
PASS at any time. Please remind all
employees to review and update their
information in PASS on a regular basis.
Supervisor Training is Here!
The Human Resource Department is now
offering Coaching, Discipline &
Documentation training to leaders across

area should contact their assigned HR
Generalist to schedule a session.
