The GE hiring process begins in the hiring unit with GE selection.
After a GE has been selected, an electronic payroll request form (ePRF) is submitted electronically by the hiring unit via the DuckDocs GE workflow system.
The ePRF is reviewed and approved by the Division of Graduate Studies.
Once the Division of Graduate Studies approves an ePRF, a notice of appointment is issued to the GE. The ePRF is forwarded onto payroll for final entry into Banner.
Additional hire documents must be sent directly to payroll.
Details of each step are below:
