2. What is a Job Attribute Change ePAR?
A Job Attribute Change ePAR is an ePAR where an employee’s job information can be changed.
Job Attribute Change ePARs can be used for employees who are budgeted by position number or by appointment.
If the employee will be transferring to a new department as part of the change, a Transfer ePAR should be used rather than a Job Attribute Change ePAR.
If a Job Attribute Change ePAR is needed, please continue reading. If a Transfer ePAR is needed, please see our Transfer ePAR training materials.
