Keep in Mind

General

· Add Additional Job is used to hire workers into an additional position.

· This business process is common for student employees, though Staff, Seasonal, Temporary, and Academic employees can hold more than one job.

· HR Partners and Academic HR Partners can view limited job details for workers that belong to other supervisory organizations.

· For any job that is anticipated to extend beyond a three-month period, a position must exist in the HRP’s supervisory organization to complete the Add Additional Job business process.

· If the employment duration for a position is expected to be three months or less:

· Initiate a One-Time payment if the employee belongs to your supervisory organization.

· Submit a request via ServiceNow if the employee is outside your supervisory organization. This will prompt the Data Management Specialists to initiate and process a One-Time Payment.

· This request should not be used for student employees or academic positions.

· The Effective Date of an Add Additional Job needs to be the start of the next pay period.

· Please use the University Payroll Paydates documents located here near the bottom of the page.

· The following information is needed to complete the Add Additional Job business process:

· Worker’s Name

· Supervisory Organization

· New Position Number

· Start and End Dates (if a fixed term employee)

· Scheduled Weekly Hours

· Compensation Amount

· Costing allocation details: Chart of Account (COA) and/or Project Cost Collection Segments (POETAF).

· The Chart of Accounts (COA) is a 10 segment string of numbers used to track income and spending at the University.

· The 10 segments that make up the COA string are: Entity, Organization, Account, Fund, Purpose, Program, Activity, Site, Affiliate, and Future.

· These segments translate into Workday as worktags, which have the same name except for Organization, which is called Cost Center in Workday.

· Out of these 10 segments, there are two, Affiliate and Future which are not used within Workday and therefore are not required for data entry.

· Since Program, Activity and Site are secondary segments, not all COA values will include them, as they are not required for every transaction.

· Additionally, the Account worktag is automatically generated in Workday once payroll is run and is not required for data entry.

· Project Cost Collection Segments (POETAF) are accounting segments used to collect business transaction details for capital projects, individual awards and discretionary funds (IADF), grants, and other internal projects.

· POETAF comprises six specific segments: Project Number, Organization Type, Expenditure Type, Task, Award, and Funding Source.

· These segments are also translated into Workday as worktags. However, four of these segments will have different names in Workday: Project will be called PPM Projects, Organization will be Cost Center, Expenditure Type will be Account, and Award will be Grant.

· Also, the Account worktag is automatically generated in Workday once payroll is run and is not required for data entry.

Staff, Temporary, or Seasonal Employees

· The initiation and entering of job details for Adding an Additional Job is completed by the HRP but the remainder of the process routes to Data Management Specialists (DMS) to complete Proposing Compensation, Changing Organization Assignments, Assigning Costing Allocations, and Assigning the Pay Group.

Student Employees

· The initiation and completion of the entire business process is completed by the HRP. This includes from initiation through Assigning Costing Allocations.

· Student Employment Administrators (SEA) Assign the Pay Group.

· Students cannot work more than 20 hours per week. Workday will not stop HRP’s from adding a job even if it will put students over 20 scheduled weekly hours. Therefore, check the student’s profile first to ensure they are not scheduled over this threshold.

· If a student will be scheduled for more than 20 hours per week, permission must be granted from the Dean of Students. Undergraduate students must complete a petition process that can be initiated by the student by emailing studentemployment@uchicago.edu.

· During the summer, graduate and undergraduate students not enrolled in classes, or enrolled less than ½ time, can work a maximum of 40 hours per week.

· If a student does not have a current wage-earning position and payment is through a One-Time Payment, the Add Job business process must be used. To compensate the student, a position with the appropriate student attributes must exist in your supervisory organization first.

· HRP’s and Academic HRP’s can only see student registration statuses for students that work in their supervisory organization.

· PhD Primary Funding Positions

· Student positions with the Job Profiles listed below are not added into Workday by the HRP. Instead, they are added by the Dean of Students (DOS) Office.

· Pedagogical Training Assignment (PTA)

· Nominal hours are 10 hours

· Research Training Assignment (RTA) A

· Nominal hours are 10 hours

· Research Training Assignment (RTA) B (Tuition Rem)

· Nominal hours are 10 hours

· Fellowship Stipend

· No primary funding from the University

· Each quarter the DOS identifies their PhD students and sends the required positions directly to Payroll to be added into Workday.

· HRPs do not have visibility into these positions because the students are in a Supervisory Organization viewable by the DOS, not managed by the HRP.

· Student Employment Administrators & Payroll handle the onboarding process, not HRP’s.

· These positions are always paid on a monthly/salary schedule.

· Any issues associated with PhD primary funding can be sent directly to the student’s DOS and/or UChicagoGRAD (gradhelp@uchicago.edu).

· For PhD, Masters/Professional, and Undergraduate students completing non-required teaching (teaching that is in addition to any academic or funding requirement), use Student Teaching Support (STS) Graduate or Student Teaching Support (STS) Undergraduate Job Profiles located within the Exempt Student Roles Job Family.

· HRP must confirm approval from the intended student hire’s DOS before initiating the Add Job process and indicate the DOS’s approval in the comments section of the business process or upload the approval to Worker Documents. See the Uploading Documents to Worker Profile in Workday Knowledge Base Article for further instructions.

· An Enter STS Course Information To Do routes to the HRP after Student Employment Administrators assign the pay group. HRP must indicate course information and type of position within this To Do. Follow the Help Text at the top of this To Do for successful completion.

· Nominal hours are 5, 10, 15 or 20 hours.

· HRP’s handle the onboarding process.

· These positions are always paid on a bi-weekly schedule, using Period Activity Pays.

· Amounts are set by the department/division.

· For PhD, Masters/Professional, and Undergraduate students completing research that is not considered primary funding, use the Research Assistant D (non-exempt) Job Profile located within the Student Research Job Family. For this Job Profile, note the following:

· Students in this Job Profile should always be performing research.

· If the student is not participating directly in research, use the Student General Asst or Cler-Student Office Asst Job Profiles.

· Nominal hours are not pre-determined but should be an accurate estimate of effort each week.

· HRP’s handle the onboarding process.

· These positions are always paid on a bi-weekly schedule, paid hourly.

· One-Time Payments are not an option for research done outside of primary funding.

· UChicago students that work with non-degree seeking students must be placed into one of the following Job Profiles (located within the Exempt Student Roles Job Family):

· Non-Degree Program – Assistant

· Non-Degree Program - Lead

Academic Employees

· Do not use the Add Job process for faculty/academic employees that have secondary academic appointments. Instead, refer to the Managing Academic Appointments in Workday Knowledge Base Article and complete the Add Academic Appointment business process to add a secondary academic appointment for a faculty or academic employee.
