Electronic Approvals are once again available. Get all the information you need on the Electronic Approval News page
Electronic Approvals (EAs) are the method used by hiring department HR liaisons to hire full or part-time employees on temporary assignments into the Banner system. For example, departments hiring wage, student wage, adjunct professors, and graduate assistants will all use the EA process.
EAs are designed to promote an efficient approval signature process for centralized and decentralized Human Resources operations and support the movement towards a paperless office. This process is designed so that authorized users enter the action for approval and route the action through the necessary approval hierarchy. In addition, it is possible to track items through the approval process and to provide an audit trail of all approval/disapproval history. Users can track their items requiring approval through an online form. Approvers can easily view items that need approval and add their own comments to an action.
Authorized submitters such as HR Liaisons must attend mandatory EA training to gain access to the system and ensure that EAs are entered completely and correctly. Submitters must also take care to follow the data standards outline in the Data Standards Document to ensure data integrity.
You can schedule training online or for more information, please contact Robyn Madar, HR Trainer, at x4180.
If you encounter problems with EAs call the HR Customer Service team at (703) 993-2600 to receive assistance and support over the phone.
