General Description:

If creating a new HR Transaction, go to the JEMS CHRIS-HR main menu. Check the box next to the type of HR Transaction to Create (University Staff/Fixed-Term Vacancy, TE, Update, or Reclass) and then press the ‘New Transaction’ button in the Create an HR Transaction section of the main menu. The Update and Reclass PDs all require an employee id/employee record number for which the HR Transaction will be created.
