Links to Instructions for Each Tab in PWAAPPT:
Appointment | Person | Pay | Tenure | Comments | AAEO | Log | Status

The BANNER form PWAAPPT produces on-screen Requests to Offer that are designed to be printed and signed. RTO packets are forwarded to the appropriate Vice President’s office either directly or via Affirmative Action. The RTO is used to set up payroll and to create a contract that is mailed to the employee.

Access
To access PWAAPPT, you must be an authorized BANNER user. BANNER access and authorization may be requested from BAO using the BAF and FUP forms available on the BANNER Guide. PWAAPPT access may be obtained through your VP’s office.

Appointment Number
PWAAPPT immediately takes you to the “Key Block” for an appointment number.

If you would like to create a new RTO (including renewals and revisions), leave the appointment number field blank or clear the field if it is not blank. The system will assign a unique RTO number as you advance to the next block.

If you would like to access an existing RTO (to see what was done before or to complete an unfinished RTO), enter the number into the appointment number field and advance to the next block. If you don’t know the appointment number, click on the down-arrow to search for it. You can search based on any of the elements shown. Click on the down arrow next to the ID field to search for an ID.

Information Needed to Begin
Before you start a new RTO, be sure to have the following information at your fingertips:

  1. Employee’s UO ID Number (For new-to-UO employees, send a "UO ID Request Form" to the Payroll office.)
  2. Position Number (See NAPO for new hires. For renewals, check BANNER form PWIVERI for the position number. For all current UO employees, check PWIVERI to make sure your appointment will not conflict with other appointments the employee may have.)
  3. Contract Dates
  4. Timesheet Organization Number

Eight Tabbed Screens
Once you have navigated from the appointment number block to the next block, you are in the first of eight tabbed screens in the appointment system. The tabs are located across the top of the block. Depending on your level of authorization, all or some tabs will be accessible to you. There is also an “Options” pull-down menu that allows you to do a variety of things with the RTO.

Enter all required fields on each tab that is accessible to you. As you move from tab to tab, save the information by pressing the [Save] icon. You can partially prepare an RTO, save the information, and come back to it later.

For detailed information about each tabbed screen, click on the appropriate link:

Tabs: Appointment | Person | Pay | Tenure | Comments | AAEO | Log | Status

Completing the RTO
Print out the RTO by choosing “Print RTO” from the Options menu. Once you are satisfied that the RTO is correct and complete, select “Department Close” from the Options menu. This action updates the Log Tab and prevents the department from making further changes. The RTO will always be available for you to view.

Two things to notice on the printed RTO:

  • “Overtime Eligibility" is an informational item, and applies only to administrative and research appointments. If BANNER does not contain an FLSA indicator for a new appointment, the RTO will print a message that says "To be determined by Human Resources".
  • “AAEO Disposition” is in the box in the top left corner. If your appointment is a renewal and the disposition says “Do not route to AAEO”, the RTO does not need to be approved by Affirmative Action.

Remember to [Save] before exiting. If you're doing a series of RTOs, click [Rollback] to take you back to the "Key Block".

Submission of the RTO Packet
Route the RTO packet around for approvals. The department head, dean/director and Affirmative Action (as necessary) will need to sign these forms before they go to the appropriate VP’s office.

The VP’s office reviews the paperwork and issues an employment contract using the information on the RTO. When the contract is signed by the employee and returned to the VP’s office, copies are distributed to the department, dean’s/director’s office, Affirmative Action and Resource Management.


RTO Packet:
1) Request to Offer Academic/Administrative Appointment
2) Affirmative Action Compliance Statement and any backup for the search
3) Current Vita (on new appointments and every fourth year for renewals)
4) Signed Employment Application (only on new appointments)


To Cancel an Appointment
If it is necessary to cancel an appointment after the contract has been printed (as indicated on the Log Tab), notify both Payroll and the appropriate VP’s office. An email explanation is usually sufficient.

Appointment Reports (PWRAPRP)
The Appointment Reports screen (BANNER form PWRAPRP) allows users to create lists of appointments that are in the unclassified appointment system. Data can be downloaded in a report format or into an Excel spreadsheet. Complete instructions are available.
