Faculty and grad assistant summer appointments process automated

Summer jobs for nine-month faculty and graduate assistants will be processed this year via a summer job file that will be available to the departments the week of April 17. This file will enable departments to automate the summer jobs, in most cases eliminating the need to enter the appointment in ePAF. Once departments have updated the summer job file and it has been reviewed by the Academic Personnel Office, the information will be automatically applied into job data in the myUFL system. In addition, a termination record will be created for each employee’s summer job based in the term indicated by the department.

Review Sick Leave Error Report for over- or under-accruals

Please review the Sick Leave Accrual Error Report (edit: as of October 2006, please refer to Enterprise Reporting for this information) that lists employees who appear to have either over- or under-accrued leave in various pay periods from October 6, 2005, to March 9, 2006. (Please see note below* for details regarding the future of this report.) Over- and under-accrual of leave are usually indicators of overpayment or underpayment, as leave accrual is based on the number of hours worked.

VISA status reports circulated for review

In early April, administrators in your department or college will be receiving a new VISA status report. This report is available in the myUFL system under Enterprise Reporting and is used to track foreign national employees on VISAs by providing the status and expiration date of current VISAs.

Staff responsible for reviewing the reports should provide a copy of a current VISA and I-9 for any employee whose VISA data is listed as having expired or is within a month of expiration to the appropriate office listed below. In addition, please submit copies of I-20s for F-1 VISA holders; DS-2019s for J-1 VISA holders; and I-797s for H1B1, O-1, and TN VISA holders. All copies should be sent to the appropriate office by April 24.

Faculty and graduate student documents should be sent to Academic Personnel, staff and OPS documents should be sent to Employment and Classification, and student assistant documents should be sent to Student Financial Affairs. These offices will then forward copies of the documents to University Tax Services.
