3 I Personnel Action Overview Overview A Personnel Action (PA) is a change or addition to an employee s record that affects the individual s status, pay or position. The MUNIS Personnel Action (PA) process is designed to automate the existing flow of the requested action and its associated paper documents from a school or department through interschool mail to appropriate offices in the district Administrative Center for action completion. When a request, a specific form, letter, or is received from an employee, a personnel action entry may be required. This procedure explains the MUNIS Personnel Action process originating from the end user through its approval by the principal or department head to the appropriate Admin Center office(s) to ensure the Personnel Action is reviewed, acted upon, and completed. Getting Started The authorized end user initiates a personnel action when: an employee requests: leave without pay (LWOP) long term leave of absence (LOA) military leave admin leave (no longer required in personnel action) family medical leave job sharing a resignation/retirement notice OR- Supplemental Pay form is initiated and signed by the employee and supervisor MOA payment authorization SAS contract is initiated and signed by the employee and supervisor SAS payment authorization OR- Hiring of non-benefitted employees Removing of non-benefitted employees request for non-benefited employee working every student contact day Munis Personnel Actions Page 1
