Please
Note the Following Regarding Changes in the RAHA
1. Changes in the
requirements for when a RAHA is to be completed do not change any requirements
for the completion of a job description in filling a position.
2. These changes are not
intended to change any internal College/Unit requirements on position approval.
3. For Academic
Professional and Faculty Appointments, the RAHA is to continue to be attached
to the respective HR Front End transaction. We are examining ways to connect
the approval of the position with the respective HR Front End transaction which
may eliminate this requirement.
Future Changes
Please note
that in the near future, the form will be updated and renamed Position Authorization. At that time,
it will be integrated with the Requisition utilized for Civil Service positions
resulting in only one form required for filling a Civil Service position. You
will be notified about this change at that time and webinars will be conducted
to overview the changes with you.
