Paperwork Reduction

• Process improvements reduce the amount of paperwork that hiring managers are required to complete.
  
  An applicant is now defined as one who applies for a specific position and meets the minimum posted qualifications for that position.  Hiring managers will provide gender and race/ethnicity data for all applicants and will continue to provide the reason for selection and interview information for the selectee.
  
  Hiring managers are no longer required to list reasons for non-selection and interview information for qualified applicants not selected for the position.  They are no longer required to provide data for non-applicants (those who don't meet minimum posted qualifications).

Monitoring Paperwork Review

• Paperwork for grades 10 –13/103-105 no longer requires review and approval by the Administrative Monitoring Committee.
   
• Instead hiring managers are required to obtain verification from central HR staff at their respective campuses that the selectee meets the job requirements.  This verification is required and must be done prior to making an offer of employment.   The process is the same for grades 7-9A, except that central HR staff will confirm that all union sign-ups have been given appropriate consideration prior to the job offer.
   
• Hiring Process Documentation is to be submitted along with new hire paperwork to the appropriate central HR office.  An original and one copy is now required instead of six sets of paperwork.

Employment Applications

• Completed employment applications are now required for all new administrative hires regardless of grade/title.  The application may be obtained at the time of initial interview or when the new employee is completing his/her new hire paperwork such as tax and I-9 forms.  The application must accompany the PAF and other paperwork when forwarded to central HR at Morningside or the Medical Center for processing.
   
• Employment Applications are available at the central HR offices.  Applications may be photocopied as needed.
