Understanding the Administering PAR System

The administering PAR system provides you with the power to process action requests quickly and easily. The system automatically routes a wide variety of requests directly to reviewing officials, and on to human resources, in the path your agency designates.

If anyone needs further information, the system automatically routes that inquiry back to the originator. All involved are included in the communication loop and always know that their requests are moving through a well-mapped review, authorization, and approval cycle.

Note:

Keep in mind that the description and samples described throughout this book are illustrative, flexible models that you can adapt for your agency's personnel administration system. Your agency can set up the Administer Workforce system routing, security, accessing, processing, and many other features to meet your individual agency needs and requirements.

Using a streamlined menu structure, you can navigate quickly and easily through the whole process. Using PeopleSoft workflow, you indicate the level of authorization and the system routes the request through the process for you.

Significant features of the PAR system include:

• Flexible work-in-progress processing.

• Cancellation and correction functionality.

• Reviewed flag processing for retroactive personnel actions.

• Enhanced navigation with pages.

• Issuing awards and bonuses.

• Detail assignment processing.

• Support for the personnel office identifier (POI) signature requirement.
