The Employee Action Form (EAF) is used for current full and part-time employees.  Creighton Student actions are prepared on a different form available from Student Employment.

Biweekly paperwork is due the Tuesday before the end of a pay period.  Monthly paperwork is due the 18th of the month.  If the 18th falls on a weekend, the deadline is moved to the Friday before the 18th.

Web Access Tips:

• Access the form through the web each time you prepare an employee action.  This will insure that you are using the latest version of the form.
• When you click on the link to open the EAF document, change the view to “Print Layout.”  The “Print Layout” view enables you to see the document correctly.
• Complete and save the word document using a document name such as, EAF for (name of employee and current date).  If you create many EAF documents, this will enable you to locate them easier for future reference.

Form Tips:

• Always use the employee’s legal name.  Creighton employs many people with similar names.
• Please do not abbreviate the employee’s name, title or organization name.
• Always use the tab key to go to the next field.  DO NOT use the enter key.
• To change an entry in a previous field, do one of the following:
  • Use the mouse and click in the field you wish to change.
  • Hold the shift key down while pressing the tab key to navigate backwards through the form.
• The dotted lines indicate a List of Values (drop down boxes).  Click on the dotted lines to make a selection.

Note the following formatted fields:

• Dates are formatted as mm/dd/yyyy or dd-mon-yr
• Amount fields are formatted with the $ (when entering cents, add the decimal point)
• Percentage fields are formatted with %

E-Mail Tips:

• Title the subject line of the e-mail as:  “EAF for (name of employee and current date).”  The e-mail should be marked as high importance (use the red exclamation point) and request a receipt (click options and check the “request a delivery receipt” box).
• Do not copy a completed EAF into the body part of an e-mail document.  This destroys the formatting and prevents Human Resources from incorporating their work on to the form
• Please send one e-mail per EAF.  Employee actions can be very complex, thus, we must limit the chance of misunderstanding or miscommunication.  Grouping several forms together prevents approvers and Human Resources from communicating efficiently, effectively and accurately about the intended action. To attempt communication about a particular form that has been grouped with others only unnecessarily increases the likelihood of error.
• All subsequent EAF approvers need to request an e-mail receipt (click options and check the “request a delivery receipt” box).  This will assist in tracking the form.

Approval Tips:

• After completing the EAF, e-mail the form and attachments to the next approver.  That individual should forward the e-mail with attachments to the next person for approval and so on until it reaches the Human Resources Department.  The next approver should state their approval of the action, including their name and title in the e-mail.  This point is very important if a department has set up a shared e-mail account for document approval.  As the document continues to be forwarded, the e-mail addresses that appear within the body of the e-mail will suffice as approval from all individuals involved in the approval process.  If one of the approvers needs to change information on the form, the changes should be identified on the form and in the body of the e-mail for documentation purposes.
• Transactions involving fund numbers starting with a ‘2’ must route through the Controller’s Office for approval before the final submission to Human Resources.  For approval, e-mail the EAF and attachments to Grants.Accounting@creighton.edu.
• The Human Resources Department has a designated e-mail address for submission of EAF forms.  The final submission of the form and any supporting documentation should be sent to HR_Employee_Action_Form@creighton.edu.  Any other supporting paper documentation that is not in the e-mail should be forwarded to Human Resources; Attn: Nancy Nygren.
