HRMS ePAR Status Update
By: Carla Ponzio, Director, Peoplesoft HRMS
Functional Testing of the Employee Status
form and the Additional Pay form was
completed at the end of February. The HRMS
ePAR project team tests every aspect of the
form from tabbing from one field to another,
to error messages that pop up on the screen.
In addition, test PARs are being data
entered and routed through the workflow
process.
The development of the Hire form is near
completion and the development of the Job
Change form is in progress. As each form
development is completed, functional testing
will begin.
Meetings with the Division leaders at
central campus regarding individual ePAR
workflow routing were completed the last
week in February, and we are pleased that
the drafts we created needed minimal changes
to the routing within the divisions. Changes
were made as needed and have been emailed
back to the Division leaders for their
official sign off.
When all approvals have been received by the
HRMS office for Central Campus, UHCL, UHD
and UHV, the new security structure in
PeopleSoft will be implemented. We want to
be sure that HR PeopleSoft users will be
able to see the departments within their
Permission List.
An email will be sent to the Main Campus
Division leaders, UHCL, UHD and UHV, and a
notice will be sent out on the HRMS-Payroll
listserv one day prior to changing the
security.
Training documents for ePAR are under
development by the HRMS office. The HRMS
office will create the training schedule in
March and start training sessions in
conjunction with the Human Resource
Department upon completion of User
Acceptance Testing. User Acceptance will be
part of the Production Pilot program.
The Production Pilot program will consist of
a group of users from the community. The
users will be trained to use ePAR and will
data enter PARs and route the forms from
initiator through final approval. Upon
completion of the Production Pilot, HRMS
will begin the phased roll out to the
community. The schedule for the roll out
will be sent out to ePAR users sometime in
March.
The feedback I have received from the
divisions has been overwhelmingly positive
and everyone is anxious for the project to
be implemented. The HRMS office is just as
excited to implement phase one for staff and
students and to get started on phase two –
faculty.
