Change of Status Action
Use this procedure to update an employee’s status, such as:
- Completing or extending a probationary, trial service, transitional, or review period
- Changing an appointment from non-permanent to permanent
- Completing an in-training level or series
When entering a change of status action for an employee completing an in-training level or series, refer to the In-Training Appointments Coding Reference Guide.
If there is a change to the employee’s job, appointment date, or pay, then use the Appointment Change Action (PA) - In-Training Complete procedure instead.
This action does not normally require hand-offs to other roles.
Be sure to communicate with your payroll processor before entering a retroactive action.
