Addition of ePAF in myUFL improves data-entry for department administrators In response to campus’s need for a more streamlined approach to data-entry in the myUFL system and in an effort to improve the accuracy of human resource-related transactions, Human Resource Services has introduced new electronic Personnel Action Forms (ePAFs). These ePAFs will replace the current practices, providing a more intuitive format of data entry on fewer pages—one to three pages compared to the current twelve. As fields are entered, information is limited within the data entry fields to only applicable choices—thus, reducing the possibility of errors and making the administrator’s job easier. For more information about ePAF, visit www.hr.ufl.edu/epaf.
UF staff to receive annual appraisals TEAMS and USPS employees will now be appraised by their supervisors under a new set of criteria: work performance, attendance, customer service, initiative, and teamwork. The university’s performance management initiative also creates a common evaluation period of March 1 through February 28 for evaluations, with a campus-wide due date for completed evaluations of March 31. Employees will be asked to fill out the “self assessment” section of the appraisal form. To review the new form, visit our web site.

Coming soon: More improvements to Time and LaborStarting in mid- to late-March, employees will be able to see six months of reported time and leave—specifically, elapse and punch time. Reported time and leave prior to six months will be archived and accessible through Enterprise Reporting. Archiving reported time and leave data will improve the operation of Time and Labor. Currently, the Time and Labor feature in the myUFL system catalogs reported time from the past several years, thus negatively affecting the system’s performance. Leave balances and paycheck information will not be affected by this action. Employees or departments will be able to view leave balances and paycheck information as usual. If you have any questions, please contact Central Leave Administration at 392-5732 or email at central-leave@ufl.edu. |

Fifty TEAMS employees will be selected to receive tuition assistance for their childrenThe Higher Education Opportunity (HEO) for Children of Full-time TEAMS Employees drawing for the 2006-07 academic year will be held at a public ceremony on Monday, March 27, from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m., in Room 282 of the J. Wayne Reitz Union. Light refreshments will be provided, and the public is welcome to attend. Chief Linda Stump from the University Police Department will preside over the event. UF’s Higher Education Opportunity (HEO) provides children of full-time TEAMS employees with the opportunity of tuition assistance for an undergraduate education at the University of Florida (if the student is not accepted to UF, the benefit may be used at any public community college in Florida). At the HEO drawing in March, Human Resource Services will randomly select 50 TEAMS employees from a pool of eligible HEO applicants to participate in the program. For the child of each selected employee, the university will pay the in-state matriculation fees (the actual tuition minus any additional fees for activities, transportation, health, services, athletics, late registration, late payment, materials, supplies, labs, etc.) for up to 12 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters and 6 credit hours during the summer semester. Please note that any Bright Futures Scholarship award will be subtracted from the amount the student can receive through the HEO. As long as the student remains eligible for the HEO, the program will assist with the student’s tuition until he or she has accumulated a maximum of 132 college credit hours or has been enrolled in college for six years. Although the deadline to apply to the HEO has passed for the 2006-2007 academic year, please visit our web site or contact Jennifer Blades, HEO coordinator, at 392-4626 (SC 622-4626) or jennifer-blades@ufl.edu for more information. |
