By using various SunGard Higher Education tools one can convert Financial Aid and HR paper processes to automated paperless processes. Our automated hiring process begins with an in-house developed self-service page to initiate the request, validate the data, and prevent the process from continuing if pre-requisites such as Work-Study not awarded or background check processing have not been completed. Submitting the hiring request initiates a Workflow that streamlines the approval process and ensures matching data. After the final approval the data is automatically placed in the appropriate EPAF tables. The final step in the workflow is to launch the NOAEPAF form to complete the hiring process. The benefits are enormous:
• The data is entered only once.
• What is approved is what is ultimately put into RJASEAR and NBAJOBS.
• The time from request to completion has gone from days to minutes resulting in increased efficiency.
• It's GREEN (paperless).
Audience: HR, Financial Aid, and IT.
